1
00:00:13.240 --> 00:00:16.600
<v Speaker 1>You are trapped in a native quarter of Mozambique, with

2
00:00:16.719 --> 00:00:19.480
<v Speaker 1>the police closing in on you while at your feet

3
00:00:19.640 --> 00:00:23.160
<v Speaker 1>like two dead men, and standing beside you is a

4
00:00:23.160 --> 00:00:33.159
<v Speaker 1>sultry girl who offers you escape.

5
00:00:37.119 --> 00:00:40.880
<v Speaker 2>We offer you escape, designed to free you from the

6
00:00:40.920 --> 00:00:44.640
<v Speaker 2>four walls of today for a half hour of high adventure.

7
00:00:50.920 --> 00:00:54.880
<v Speaker 2>Tonight we escape to Mozambique in Southeast Africa and a

8
00:00:54.920 --> 00:00:58.479
<v Speaker 2>fantastic series of adventures. As Percival Gibbon tells it in

9
00:00:58.520 --> 00:01:01.399
<v Speaker 2>his story of the Second Class Passenger.

10
00:01:12.640 --> 00:01:18.000
<v Speaker 3>That's me, Ronald A. Dawson, second class passenger. Oh, I

11
00:01:18.040 --> 00:01:21.280
<v Speaker 3>could have afforded first class by pinching a little.

12
00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:22.959
<v Speaker 4>Here and there. But nobody back.

13
00:01:22.840 --> 00:01:25.799
<v Speaker 3>At Ralston's Department store and Cedar Rapids will ever know.

14
00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:31.000
<v Speaker 3>The important thing is, They'll say, Ronald Dawson in drapery

15
00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:33.920
<v Speaker 3>is taking a cruise around the world.

16
00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:36.280
<v Speaker 4>And then there's really very.

17
00:01:36.079 --> 00:01:40.359
<v Speaker 3>Little difference in the accommodations, and the second class passengers

18
00:01:40.359 --> 00:01:44.120
<v Speaker 3>are every bit as interesting as the first class crowd. Hey,

19
00:01:44.920 --> 00:01:49.239
<v Speaker 3>miss Patterson, for instance, you'd look far to find a

20
00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:56.599
<v Speaker 3>more charming, likable and all together desirable young lady.

21
00:01:57.319 --> 00:02:00.239
<v Speaker 4>Just the life of the party.

22
00:02:00.519 --> 00:02:03.359
<v Speaker 3>We'd gotten to be quite good friends by the time

23
00:02:03.439 --> 00:02:07.319
<v Speaker 3>our crews put in at Mozambique. Although the competition was

24
00:02:07.439 --> 00:02:11.520
<v Speaker 3>always stiff, I can tell you there were times when

25
00:02:11.560 --> 00:02:14.800
<v Speaker 3>I wish those other two Jones and Twitchell had missed

26
00:02:14.800 --> 00:02:16.439
<v Speaker 3>the boat somewhere along the line.

27
00:02:16.520 --> 00:02:18.960
<v Speaker 5>Well, we're still a good couple of hours before we sail.

28
00:02:19.199 --> 00:02:20.960
<v Speaker 4>I'd say, how about a ride in one of those

29
00:02:21.039 --> 00:02:22.639
<v Speaker 4>native carriages? Is bad as.

30
00:02:24.159 --> 00:02:25.159
<v Speaker 6>They'd be clean?

31
00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:29.360
<v Speaker 3>Well, personally I doubt it, really, mister daw But I

32
00:02:29.400 --> 00:02:33.039
<v Speaker 3>don't know is I'd care too much now that Wozo

33
00:02:33.199 --> 00:02:34.439
<v Speaker 3>made me woozy.

34
00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:38.039
<v Speaker 5>Stuff woto it would take a Greek to think up

35
00:02:38.039 --> 00:02:38.719
<v Speaker 5>a drink like that.

36
00:02:39.560 --> 00:02:43.840
<v Speaker 4>I take it you kill me.

37
00:02:46.080 --> 00:02:48.560
<v Speaker 5>We might do the fortune. Know the guide book says

38
00:02:48.599 --> 00:02:51.039
<v Speaker 5>it's the main point of interest. Let's see, built by

39
00:02:51.080 --> 00:02:52.520
<v Speaker 5>the Portuguese of sixteen.

40
00:02:52.240 --> 00:02:53.039
<v Speaker 4>Hundred and forties.

41
00:02:53.120 --> 00:02:56.319
<v Speaker 3>Never mind the statistics, I dare say the forces as dreary.

42
00:02:56.080 --> 00:02:59.159
<v Speaker 7>As the rest of this plays, Mozambique is not at

43
00:02:59.159 --> 00:03:02.680
<v Speaker 7>all like what you would imagine Mozambic to be.

44
00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:03.120
<v Speaker 3>Like what.

45
00:03:05.520 --> 00:03:09.840
<v Speaker 5>It's one horse tunnel right main street, a couple of alleys.

46
00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:12.599
<v Speaker 8>So Turkey. You know, you think they do something about.

47
00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:14.240
<v Speaker 3>It in this day and eight well, it will be

48
00:03:14.280 --> 00:03:16.759
<v Speaker 3>a relief to get back on board ship and have

49
00:03:16.840 --> 00:03:18.280
<v Speaker 3>a nice hot bath.

50
00:03:18.280 --> 00:03:22.120
<v Speaker 5>And real American food instead of that greasy probably octopus

51
00:03:22.159 --> 00:03:24.240
<v Speaker 5>we had for luncheon that Greek place.

52
00:03:25.039 --> 00:03:36.199
<v Speaker 7>Yes, awful part of the broadening experience of travel.

53
00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:36.280
<v Speaker 1>Like that cute idol, I thought, you know, I just

54
00:03:36.360 --> 00:03:39.039
<v Speaker 1>can't wait till I mister.

55
00:03:38.879 --> 00:03:42.080
<v Speaker 8>Dawson, Yes, miss Patterson, where's my idol?

56
00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:43.000
<v Speaker 4>She knew?

57
00:03:43.039 --> 00:03:46.840
<v Speaker 3>Why why I thought Jones had it or twitched not me,

58
00:03:46.919 --> 00:03:47.400
<v Speaker 3>old man?

59
00:03:47.520 --> 00:03:50.639
<v Speaker 7>Oh no, by you insisted on cannying it for Miss Patterson.

60
00:03:50.840 --> 00:03:54.000
<v Speaker 3>I don't remember, Oh dear, oh dear, I must have

61
00:03:54.080 --> 00:03:55.800
<v Speaker 3>left it back at the Greek restaurant.

62
00:03:56.400 --> 00:03:59.759
<v Speaker 4>I'm so sorry. I did so want that idol.

63
00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:04.719
<v Speaker 8>Do you think you could go back for it, mister Dawson, Well, yes,

64
00:04:04.800 --> 00:04:07.800
<v Speaker 8>miss Patterson, of course that is so.

65
00:04:07.960 --> 00:04:10.960
<v Speaker 4>I wonder if i'll have time before the boat, says.

66
00:04:10.599 --> 00:04:12.479
<v Speaker 8>Oh, I'm sure you will, if you hear.

67
00:04:12.919 --> 00:04:15.560
<v Speaker 5>Certainly, old man, you got more than an hour yet, Well,

68
00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:18.519
<v Speaker 5>I rather thought I terribly nice of you.

69
00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:22.639
<v Speaker 4>Yes, well, i'll go at once. Oh you are so kind,

70
00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:23.240
<v Speaker 4>my dear.

71
00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:26.240
<v Speaker 7>Now mind you don't.

72
00:04:26.160 --> 00:04:28.480
<v Speaker 4>Miss the boat. Oh goodness, I'll try not to.

73
00:04:28.959 --> 00:04:31.680
<v Speaker 3>Why chances are I'll catch up with you before you

74
00:04:31.800 --> 00:04:34.879
<v Speaker 3>reach the landing stage. We'll wait for you.

75
00:04:34.959 --> 00:04:35.959
<v Speaker 7>Feel the very.

76
00:04:35.920 --> 00:04:44.560
<v Speaker 3>Last minute, I could have throttled that supercilious Jones, insisting

77
00:04:44.600 --> 00:04:45.279
<v Speaker 3>I had time.

78
00:04:45.360 --> 00:04:48.959
<v Speaker 4>I knew there was time, but I had no desire to.

79
00:04:48.959 --> 00:04:53.839
<v Speaker 3>Run off for a heavy bronze curio and leave Jones

80
00:04:53.879 --> 00:04:58.240
<v Speaker 3>and Twitchell alone with miss Patterson. She was too nice

81
00:04:58.240 --> 00:05:02.120
<v Speaker 3>a person, and they were such dreadful boars. Yes, and

82
00:05:02.560 --> 00:05:07.079
<v Speaker 3>I suspected them of being phonies too, But there was

83
00:05:07.120 --> 00:05:10.839
<v Speaker 3>no helping it now, so I made my way back

84
00:05:10.920 --> 00:05:14.600
<v Speaker 3>up the main street toward Lazarus Restaurant, where we'd had

85
00:05:14.639 --> 00:05:22.040
<v Speaker 3>our indigestible Greek lunch. Somehow, this main street of Mozambique

86
00:05:22.160 --> 00:05:26.759
<v Speaker 3>looked different now, in the quick African twilight. The little

87
00:05:26.759 --> 00:05:30.399
<v Speaker 3>saloons and the sidewalks were filling with men of every

88
00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:35.160
<v Speaker 3>nationality and color, and many of them wore knives thrust

89
00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:37.600
<v Speaker 3>through the belt of their thin white suits.

90
00:05:38.120 --> 00:05:40.360
<v Speaker 4>Knives that looked as sharp.

91
00:05:40.040 --> 00:05:44.399
<v Speaker 3>As the glances they threw at me, and I must

92
00:05:44.439 --> 00:05:46.680
<v Speaker 3>confess I felt a little.

93
00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:52.680
<v Speaker 4>Strange and unwanted. And then, lounging toward me.

94
00:05:52.680 --> 00:05:55.680
<v Speaker 3>In the crowd, I saw a large woman clad in

95
00:05:55.720 --> 00:06:00.000
<v Speaker 3>a sort of burnouse, but her brown face was unveiled.

96
00:06:00.959 --> 00:06:04.399
<v Speaker 3>Her lips were painted scarlet, and from the corner of

97
00:06:04.439 --> 00:06:05.120
<v Speaker 3>her mouth.

98
00:06:05.000 --> 00:06:09.720
<v Speaker 4>Dangled a cigarette. Her eyes were heavily mascarage.

99
00:06:08.959 --> 00:06:15.319
<v Speaker 3>And when she looked at me, terror seized me. I

100
00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:17.560
<v Speaker 3>was afraid she would speak to me, and I didn't

101
00:06:17.560 --> 00:06:22.720
<v Speaker 3>know what I should do or say. But she didn't instead,

102
00:06:31.759 --> 00:06:34.720
<v Speaker 3>And the way the laiterers responded, I was convinced that

103
00:06:34.759 --> 00:06:40.319
<v Speaker 3>they were laughing with her at me. I must say

104
00:06:40.360 --> 00:06:44.199
<v Speaker 3>I was relieved to reach the entrance of Lazarus Restaurants.

105
00:06:49.680 --> 00:07:01.319
<v Speaker 9>Anything good evening, said no, no, thank you.

106
00:07:01.319 --> 00:07:04.199
<v Speaker 4>You see well, as a matter of fact, I just

107
00:07:04.319 --> 00:07:06.600
<v Speaker 4>lunched here today and very good, excellent.

108
00:07:09.079 --> 00:07:13.360
<v Speaker 3>Yes, well, I left a curio here, probably under the table.

109
00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:18.439
<v Speaker 3>Did you find it, eh, a curio, yes, some sort

110
00:07:18.439 --> 00:07:22.399
<v Speaker 3>of a bronze god it was wrapped in newspapers.

111
00:07:23.079 --> 00:07:28.079
<v Speaker 4>Yes, we got him right here for you. Oh have you?

112
00:07:28.800 --> 00:07:31.160
<v Speaker 4>That's good. I'm in a hurry to get back to

113
00:07:31.199 --> 00:07:37.439
<v Speaker 4>the boat. Yes, you better harry pretty soon. She rain rain.

114
00:07:38.040 --> 00:07:40.839
<v Speaker 4>Why there's not a cloud in the sky.

115
00:07:40.800 --> 00:07:46.199
<v Speaker 9>You see every night chirain in Mozambique.

116
00:07:46.759 --> 00:07:48.560
<v Speaker 4>Yes, well you ought to know.

117
00:07:48.800 --> 00:07:54.319
<v Speaker 3>But I still dull it if yes, well here by yourself.

118
00:07:53.920 --> 00:08:02.160
<v Speaker 9>As as Arista. Yeah, you hurry quick before they Oh, don't.

119
00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:10.319
<v Speaker 4>Worry about me. I'm not made of sugar, you know. Well.

120
00:08:10.639 --> 00:08:13.759
<v Speaker 3>In just the few moments I had been inside the restaurant,

121
00:08:14.319 --> 00:08:19.519
<v Speaker 3>night had fallen, that sudden nightfall of the Tropics. I

122
00:08:19.600 --> 00:08:24.160
<v Speaker 3>looked overhead and clearly saw the stars. Thinking what a

123
00:08:24.199 --> 00:08:27.920
<v Speaker 3>bad weather forecaster that Greek was, I tucked Miss Patterson's

124
00:08:27.959 --> 00:08:31.360
<v Speaker 3>silly bronze idol under my arm and started off for

125
00:08:31.439 --> 00:08:38.080
<v Speaker 3>the waterfront. I hadn't gone two hundred yards when a large,

126
00:08:38.200 --> 00:08:41.399
<v Speaker 3>warm drop of rain splattered on the back of my neck,

127
00:08:41.639 --> 00:08:44.320
<v Speaker 3>and then two more on my hat, and before I

128
00:08:44.320 --> 00:08:47.039
<v Speaker 3>could take cover under an arch it was raining like

129
00:08:47.480 --> 00:08:51.639
<v Speaker 3>Iowa in April. It didn't look like it would let

130
00:08:51.759 --> 00:08:54.080
<v Speaker 3>up soon, and I wondered if there might not be

131
00:08:54.159 --> 00:08:57.159
<v Speaker 3>a shorter way to the waterfront than the long walk

132
00:08:57.240 --> 00:08:59.840
<v Speaker 3>down the main street and then the long way.

133
00:08:59.639 --> 00:09:01.200
<v Speaker 4>To the left along the docks.

134
00:09:01.960 --> 00:09:04.639
<v Speaker 3>Surely one of these alleys that turned off to the

135
00:09:04.720 --> 00:09:07.600
<v Speaker 3>left would lead me directly to the harbor and the

136
00:09:07.679 --> 00:09:11.360
<v Speaker 3>landing stage. So I left the protection of the archway

137
00:09:11.399 --> 00:09:15.759
<v Speaker 3>and turned into the alley at my left. Four steps

138
00:09:15.759 --> 00:09:19.159
<v Speaker 3>from the main street, and I was engulfed in darkness,

139
00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:24.919
<v Speaker 3>waiting to filth and mud over my ankles. But I

140
00:09:25.080 --> 00:09:27.480
<v Speaker 3>was certain that I was on the right track, so

141
00:09:27.559 --> 00:09:34.799
<v Speaker 3>I walked it straight into a blank wall. I turned

142
00:09:34.840 --> 00:09:38.360
<v Speaker 3>to retrace my steps, but I could see no lights anywhere.

143
00:09:39.679 --> 00:09:44.200
<v Speaker 3>I dunned along the wall until it gave into another alley,

144
00:09:44.679 --> 00:09:50.080
<v Speaker 3>followed it to another blank wall, and then into another one.

145
00:09:51.679 --> 00:09:56.799
<v Speaker 3>Now it began to rain in earnest I stopped, looked

146
00:09:56.799 --> 00:10:02.000
<v Speaker 3>about me, not a light, not a sound except the

147
00:10:02.120 --> 00:10:08.039
<v Speaker 3>rush of rain. And then slowly, a sickening fear flowed

148
00:10:08.080 --> 00:10:13.559
<v Speaker 3>through me as I realized that I was completely hopelessly lost.

149
00:10:28.240 --> 00:10:30.639
<v Speaker 2>For want of a nail, the shoe was lost for

150
00:10:30.759 --> 00:10:33.879
<v Speaker 2>want of an angle, the job may be lost. Every

151
00:10:33.879 --> 00:10:37.000
<v Speaker 2>Friday Night, raining stars and rising stars of show business

152
00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:39.480
<v Speaker 2>bring their best acts to CBS and get advice for

153
00:10:39.559 --> 00:10:43.279
<v Speaker 2>improvement from three top showmen, Clifton Fatiman, Abe Burrows and

159
00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:06.279
<v Speaker 2>the second act of Escape and tonight's story. Second Class

160
00:11:06.320 --> 00:11:08.039
<v Speaker 2>Passenger by Percival Gibbon.

161
00:11:21.279 --> 00:11:24.759
<v Speaker 3>I stood alone and frightened in the tortuous back alleys

162
00:11:24.799 --> 00:11:30.440
<v Speaker 3>of Mozambique, alone, frightened and lost. If it was dark before,

163
00:11:30.519 --> 00:11:33.799
<v Speaker 3>it was now black as a tube. I struggled on

164
00:11:34.000 --> 00:11:36.399
<v Speaker 3>through the rain. I don't know how far I walked

165
00:11:36.480 --> 00:11:40.720
<v Speaker 3>through those foul and fetted passageways, nor for how long.

166
00:11:42.080 --> 00:11:44.759
<v Speaker 4>That at last, feeling.

167
00:11:44.639 --> 00:11:48.080
<v Speaker 3>My way around the corner, I saw a slit of

168
00:11:48.159 --> 00:11:51.559
<v Speaker 3>lighte a horizontal flicker beckoning beneath.

169
00:11:51.200 --> 00:11:53.440
<v Speaker 4>The door, and I heard voices.

170
00:11:54.840 --> 00:11:59.759
<v Speaker 3>I moved forward, feeling my way, hands outstretched before me.

171
00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:05.799
<v Speaker 3>I found the door, lifted the bronze idol and wrapped

172
00:12:05.799 --> 00:12:07.440
<v Speaker 3>it against the wet blackwood.

173
00:12:08.200 --> 00:12:20.559
<v Speaker 4>The voices stopped. What do you are?

174
00:12:21.279 --> 00:12:25.159
<v Speaker 3>I've lost my way, I'm wet through and I don't

175
00:12:25.200 --> 00:12:25.799
<v Speaker 3>know where I am.

176
00:12:25.799 --> 00:12:27.240
<v Speaker 4>Would you please let me in?

177
00:12:29.639 --> 00:12:34.759
<v Speaker 10>Yeah, of course you may come in. You aren't exactly

178
00:12:34.960 --> 00:12:36.840
<v Speaker 10>who we expected.

179
00:12:36.399 --> 00:12:46.480
<v Speaker 8>But come in, come in. What is that? I beg

180
00:12:46.600 --> 00:12:49.320
<v Speaker 8>upon that parcel you are carrying?

181
00:12:49.840 --> 00:12:53.639
<v Speaker 3>Oh oh, this this is a curio on an idol

182
00:12:53.679 --> 00:12:56.159
<v Speaker 3>of some sort of friend of mine left it at

183
00:12:56.200 --> 00:13:00.559
<v Speaker 3>a restaurant.

184
00:12:58.080 --> 00:13:04.360
<v Speaker 4>A tourists from a cruise boat. Yes, that's right. How

185
00:13:04.399 --> 00:13:04.919
<v Speaker 4>did you know?

186
00:13:05.240 --> 00:13:09.799
<v Speaker 6>What are you doing here? So late? So wet? The

187
00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:11.399
<v Speaker 6>boat sail soon?

188
00:13:12.200 --> 00:13:12.919
<v Speaker 4>Yes, yes I know.

189
00:13:13.000 --> 00:13:15.639
<v Speaker 3>I was trying to take a shortcut to the landing

190
00:13:15.639 --> 00:13:19.879
<v Speaker 3>stage and I got lost somehow. You see, I came

191
00:13:19.919 --> 00:13:23.200
<v Speaker 3>ashore with some friends from the second class.

192
00:13:23.279 --> 00:13:26.559
<v Speaker 4>I left them to come back and fetch this idol.

193
00:13:27.120 --> 00:13:31.000
<v Speaker 4>Give the young man a chair. You're going, Oh, thank you,

194
00:13:31.279 --> 00:13:33.919
<v Speaker 4>but I must go on. If you can just direct me,

195
00:13:34.080 --> 00:13:36.039
<v Speaker 4>never find your way in this rain.

196
00:13:36.720 --> 00:13:38.200
<v Speaker 10>We'll not stop for a while.

197
00:13:38.320 --> 00:13:41.519
<v Speaker 4>Yet, you may as well wait here. Well that's hard.

198
00:13:42.559 --> 00:13:47.000
<v Speaker 6>We may be able to provide some entertainment for our

199
00:13:47.120 --> 00:13:52.440
<v Speaker 6>second class tourists as Marrain's friends friends.

200
00:13:52.879 --> 00:13:55.039
<v Speaker 8>The police are not my friends.

201
00:13:55.120 --> 00:13:56.320
<v Speaker 4>You led them to ask.

202
00:13:56.440 --> 00:14:00.039
<v Speaker 8>You are responsible for the police search not please. You

203
00:14:00.159 --> 00:14:03.000
<v Speaker 8>have been stupid to kill a man for no reason.

204
00:14:03.039 --> 00:14:07.279
<v Speaker 8>Stupid you day night you get caught, you go to christ.

205
00:14:07.559 --> 00:14:10.960
<v Speaker 10>Why don't you talk with the Prefect of police again?

206
00:14:11.399 --> 00:14:16.279
<v Speaker 8>If you could just agn with work sometimes with jail.

207
00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:18.799
<v Speaker 8>I have paid now it is your three.

208
00:14:18.960 --> 00:14:20.559
<v Speaker 4>You could help us once more.

209
00:14:21.240 --> 00:14:24.399
<v Speaker 6>Only once more, we could be out of this store

210
00:14:24.519 --> 00:14:28.440
<v Speaker 6>and down the coastal Lorenzo Marquis or kept tower.

211
00:14:29.879 --> 00:14:31.559
<v Speaker 8>Why don't you help us once more?

212
00:14:31.679 --> 00:14:32.000
<v Speaker 4>Yes?

213
00:14:32.159 --> 00:14:35.480
<v Speaker 8>Why will you say once more? Once more? Now there

214
00:14:35.559 --> 00:14:36.200
<v Speaker 8>is no more?

215
00:14:37.120 --> 00:14:42.279
<v Speaker 6>You a sheep pig, defiled and debauched.

216
00:14:42.320 --> 00:14:42.600
<v Speaker 4>Dot.

217
00:14:42.840 --> 00:14:47.879
<v Speaker 3>I begged your pardon, sir. What that's no way to

218
00:14:47.960 --> 00:14:48.799
<v Speaker 3>speak to a lady.

219
00:14:50.159 --> 00:14:53.120
<v Speaker 1>What yet?

220
00:14:53.600 --> 00:14:56.799
<v Speaker 3>I'm serious. I don't like to hear such language used

221
00:14:56.799 --> 00:14:59.679
<v Speaker 3>to a lady. I must ask you to apologize.

222
00:14:59.799 --> 00:15:01.879
<v Speaker 4>What have you got to do with all this?

223
00:15:02.159 --> 00:15:05.039
<v Speaker 10>You just came in out of the rain from the

224
00:15:05.080 --> 00:15:06.120
<v Speaker 10>second class.

225
00:15:06.120 --> 00:15:08.240
<v Speaker 8>I don't fight with him. The troubling off already?

226
00:15:08.279 --> 00:15:10.120
<v Speaker 4>What right does he get to come in here?

227
00:15:10.360 --> 00:15:14.879
<v Speaker 8>Yesterday you stopped the ah what it? Don't stop this one?

228
00:15:15.320 --> 00:15:17.279
<v Speaker 8>You want the police to find you here with a corpse?

229
00:15:17.360 --> 00:15:17.960
<v Speaker 4>A corpse?

230
00:15:18.080 --> 00:15:20.639
<v Speaker 10>What does it matter how the police find us? We

231
00:15:20.759 --> 00:15:23.960
<v Speaker 10>wait for them because we have no choice. You put

232
00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:24.759
<v Speaker 10>them on us.

233
00:15:24.960 --> 00:15:26.440
<v Speaker 4>We should go away with you.

234
00:15:26.519 --> 00:15:30.360
<v Speaker 8>Why do you lie even to yourself? Why must you

235
00:15:30.639 --> 00:15:34.600
<v Speaker 8>hide your own blame behind my skirts? You are not

236
00:15:35.080 --> 00:15:36.200
<v Speaker 8>man nor beast?

237
00:15:36.799 --> 00:15:39.080
<v Speaker 4>You are talk one. Don't you tear?

238
00:15:39.240 --> 00:15:43.639
<v Speaker 8>Say you are just that? How short you.

239
00:15:46.240 --> 00:15:46.320
<v Speaker 9>Know?

240
00:15:46.559 --> 00:15:47.720
<v Speaker 5>You don't.

241
00:15:51.240 --> 00:15:56.120
<v Speaker 4>Why you meddling American fool.

242
00:15:57.759 --> 00:16:01.559
<v Speaker 3>You kills had backs that or I'll brain you with

243
00:16:01.600 --> 00:16:04.399
<v Speaker 3>this idol with my own hands.

244
00:16:04.519 --> 00:16:11.919
<v Speaker 8>I'll oh god, I carry your knife.

245
00:16:13.000 --> 00:16:18.279
<v Speaker 3>I killed a man with this little curio, and you've

246
00:16:18.360 --> 00:16:19.639
<v Speaker 3>killed another with your knife.

247
00:16:19.960 --> 00:16:23.200
<v Speaker 4>Two men murdered. I must get back to this year.

248
00:16:23.279 --> 00:16:25.480
<v Speaker 8>The sheep. We can worry about later. First we must

249
00:16:25.480 --> 00:16:32.559
<v Speaker 8>get out of here. The police will arrive anymore. Come

250
00:16:32.759 --> 00:16:39.279
<v Speaker 8>it is not raining so hot? Yes, did the police?

251
00:16:39.480 --> 00:16:41.159
<v Speaker 8>They have come, police too. They will be on both

252
00:16:41.240 --> 00:16:45.039
<v Speaker 8>sides of it here and perfectly still. I will tell

253
00:16:45.039 --> 00:16:52.120
<v Speaker 8>you when it's safe to move. No, they are all around,

254
00:16:52.200 --> 00:16:53.240
<v Speaker 8>so they won't come.

255
00:16:53.360 --> 00:16:58.720
<v Speaker 4>Now where are we going?

256
00:16:58.879 --> 00:17:01.399
<v Speaker 8>We are escaping, But if you'll know from what we

257
00:17:01.480 --> 00:17:04.119
<v Speaker 8>are escaping, you would not care where. I hurry, hang

258
00:17:04.160 --> 00:17:11.559
<v Speaker 8>on to my hand and hurry from the body. Now

259
00:17:11.599 --> 00:17:12.400
<v Speaker 8>they're at the ruffle.

260
00:17:12.599 --> 00:17:13.319
<v Speaker 4>What will we do?

261
00:17:13.480 --> 00:17:16.720
<v Speaker 8>There is a door nearby. We must find it along

262
00:17:16.759 --> 00:17:28.160
<v Speaker 8>the wall here, father heard it must be here, Yes.

263
00:17:28.799 --> 00:17:35.880
<v Speaker 4>Yes, here it is. It won't budge it's bolted. Must

264
00:17:36.000 --> 00:17:36.519
<v Speaker 4>push it in.

265
00:17:36.720 --> 00:17:48.400
<v Speaker 8>It's the only way. It's again once more, good, my

266
00:17:48.640 --> 00:17:51.279
<v Speaker 8>friend might great strong fring up these stairs?

267
00:17:51.319 --> 00:18:04.200
<v Speaker 4>No, quickie, where are we going? Now wait the reader stops. Yes,

268
00:18:04.319 --> 00:18:07.160
<v Speaker 4>the starter coming out.

269
00:18:07.279 --> 00:18:11.039
<v Speaker 8>Look across the rooftops. There is a sheep out in

270
00:18:11.079 --> 00:18:11.599
<v Speaker 8>the harbor.

271
00:18:11.680 --> 00:18:19.839
<v Speaker 4>I must get to it.

272
00:18:20.400 --> 00:18:22.359
<v Speaker 8>We are not safe yet. Over the wall, to the

273
00:18:22.400 --> 00:18:27.759
<v Speaker 8>next roof. Hurry, you know, over the next pep.

274
00:18:32.079 --> 00:18:33.599
<v Speaker 4>Are you all right?

275
00:18:33.920 --> 00:18:34.240
<v Speaker 8>Yes?

276
00:18:34.759 --> 00:18:43.599
<v Speaker 4>Come up quietly? What had over there at temps?

277
00:18:43.920 --> 00:18:46.519
<v Speaker 8>Yes, you're not where the people keep on the roofs.

278
00:18:46.759 --> 00:18:49.160
<v Speaker 4>You must walk like a right Who are they?

279
00:18:49.279 --> 00:18:51.160
<v Speaker 8>Who knows? If they see us, they would think you

280
00:18:51.240 --> 00:18:54.440
<v Speaker 8>had come for the women. There would be nothing to say.

281
00:18:56.720 --> 00:18:58.400
<v Speaker 8>Someone scrawling out of.

282
00:19:00.599 --> 00:19:04.720
<v Speaker 4>A man with a sheet wrapped round him. He's coming

283
00:19:04.759 --> 00:19:08.519
<v Speaker 4>this way. Why doesn't he see us?

284
00:19:08.680 --> 00:19:12.240
<v Speaker 8>Eyes are clouded with sleep. Perhaps if he seizes it

285
00:19:12.359 --> 00:19:13.359
<v Speaker 8>will be too late.

286
00:19:14.319 --> 00:19:30.880
<v Speaker 4>Well then you won't.

287
00:19:26.319 --> 00:19:26.519
<v Speaker 8>There.

288
00:19:28.559 --> 00:19:30.359
<v Speaker 4>I took the fight out of him.

289
00:19:30.680 --> 00:19:34.720
<v Speaker 8>He's my little nice just to break and he's light snow. No, no,

290
00:19:35.039 --> 00:19:36.279
<v Speaker 8>he's still enough.

291
00:19:36.359 --> 00:19:38.519
<v Speaker 4>Now he can't harm us.

292
00:19:38.599 --> 00:19:42.480
<v Speaker 8>He's splendid, but only the bare hands to make an

293
00:19:42.559 --> 00:19:43.799
<v Speaker 8>armedman harmed.

294
00:19:44.799 --> 00:19:46.720
<v Speaker 4>I didn't know he was armed.

295
00:19:46.440 --> 00:19:50.079
<v Speaker 8>Of course, that you may always be sure. Look during

296
00:19:50.240 --> 00:19:57.640
<v Speaker 8>his boat a beggar. Yes, you are truly magnificent, my friend.

297
00:19:58.720 --> 00:20:00.359
<v Speaker 8>You are a man hm.

298
00:20:01.119 --> 00:20:06.599
<v Speaker 4>And you you are a wonderful woman.

299
00:20:12.079 --> 00:20:16.240
<v Speaker 8>I was wondering when you would kiss me when you

300
00:20:16.359 --> 00:20:18.720
<v Speaker 8>took offense at what the Russian said to me. I

301
00:20:18.799 --> 00:20:22.440
<v Speaker 8>knew you would, but I wondered though soon.

302
00:20:23.160 --> 00:20:27.640
<v Speaker 3>Yes, yes, I suppose I knew too, in a way,

303
00:20:28.559 --> 00:20:30.759
<v Speaker 3>at least I thought.

304
00:20:30.559 --> 00:20:31.839
<v Speaker 4>How much I'd like to.

305
00:20:33.200 --> 00:20:37.000
<v Speaker 3>But I wouldn't have had the courage before all this.

306
00:20:37.799 --> 00:20:41.440
<v Speaker 8>I suppose courage. Your courage is of the lion, Your

307
00:20:41.640 --> 00:20:43.079
<v Speaker 8>strength is of the boat.

308
00:20:44.079 --> 00:20:46.200
<v Speaker 4>My boat. I mustn't miss it if.

309
00:20:46.119 --> 00:20:48.440
<v Speaker 8>You want to go back to the second class.

310
00:20:48.519 --> 00:20:50.559
<v Speaker 3>Well that's what I was trying to do when I

311
00:20:50.640 --> 00:20:53.960
<v Speaker 3>knocked on your door. I've missed my dinner, as it is,

312
00:20:54.799 --> 00:20:56.039
<v Speaker 3>missed your dinner.

313
00:20:56.400 --> 00:21:00.920
<v Speaker 8>Yes, that is so, But haven't you gain something else?

314
00:21:01.559 --> 00:21:02.319
<v Speaker 8>What me?

315
00:21:03.160 --> 00:21:03.519
<v Speaker 4>No?

316
00:21:04.799 --> 00:21:08.680
<v Speaker 8>Now, look at me? Is it nothing? Friend? That you

317
00:21:08.720 --> 00:21:14.000
<v Speaker 8>have saved me for yourself? If you conquer men as

318
00:21:14.079 --> 00:21:17.160
<v Speaker 8>though you were bred on the roofs of Mozambique, you

319
00:21:17.279 --> 00:21:19.799
<v Speaker 8>fight like a hero a Russia blow a tumble, and

320
00:21:19.799 --> 00:21:21.359
<v Speaker 8>you had them lying at your feet.

321
00:21:22.079 --> 00:21:22.599
<v Speaker 4>I'd fight.

322
00:21:23.519 --> 00:21:27.400
<v Speaker 3>I'd fight for you as long as as long as

323
00:21:27.440 --> 00:21:28.640
<v Speaker 3>there was anyone to fight.

324
00:21:29.319 --> 00:21:31.960
<v Speaker 8>You would, I know you would?

325
00:21:36.839 --> 00:21:42.119
<v Speaker 4>You lead on where wherever you will come.

326
00:21:44.039 --> 00:21:58.359
<v Speaker 3>Ah, you know, I don't expect anyone to believe this.

327
00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:03.119
<v Speaker 3>Looking back, I'm still unsure that it really happened to me.

328
00:22:04.640 --> 00:22:07.880
<v Speaker 4>It's as though I dreamed it. I don't know how

329
00:22:07.920 --> 00:22:11.359
<v Speaker 4>many roofs we crossed after that, a dozen, perhaps, maybe twenty.

330
00:22:12.319 --> 00:22:15.000
<v Speaker 3>I don't even remember the great ship lying out in

331
00:22:15.039 --> 00:22:18.880
<v Speaker 3>the harbor, her lights blinking with the comforts of civilization.

332
00:22:20.160 --> 00:22:24.400
<v Speaker 3>All my senses were focused on this slim, breath taking figure,

333
00:22:24.880 --> 00:22:28.680
<v Speaker 3>leaning me across the rooftops to a shadowy destination in

334
00:22:28.720 --> 00:22:30.799
<v Speaker 3>which only one thing was certain.

335
00:22:31.359 --> 00:22:32.440
<v Speaker 4>She would be there.

336
00:22:34.279 --> 00:22:38.319
<v Speaker 3>I suppose in that moment, armed only with the blood

337
00:22:38.359 --> 00:22:51.119
<v Speaker 3>stained bronze Idle, I was invincible. At last she led

338
00:22:51.160 --> 00:22:54.519
<v Speaker 3>me down a creaking wooden stair that hung precariously on

339
00:22:54.640 --> 00:22:57.680
<v Speaker 3>the sheer side of a house, and once more.

340
00:22:57.480 --> 00:22:59.880
<v Speaker 4>We were in the mud of a gloomy Annie.

341
00:23:00.680 --> 00:23:03.440
<v Speaker 3>We made our way down the avey and out into

342
00:23:03.440 --> 00:23:06.599
<v Speaker 3>a little square, where a night breeze wrestled in the

343
00:23:06.640 --> 00:23:10.839
<v Speaker 3>palms and smelled of the sea, And across the way

344
00:23:11.160 --> 00:23:14.359
<v Speaker 3>a dim light showed through a big open door.

345
00:23:16.839 --> 00:23:18.720
<v Speaker 8>The little church is San Sebastian.

346
00:23:22.279 --> 00:23:26.319
<v Speaker 4>After all this, come in.

347
00:23:29.359 --> 00:23:38.400
<v Speaker 8>Kay and pokings, come.

348
00:23:41.000 --> 00:23:41.720
<v Speaker 4>What did he wants.

349
00:23:41.759 --> 00:23:43.640
<v Speaker 8>He says, he won't let me go at the.

350
00:23:43.599 --> 00:23:45.519
<v Speaker 4>Devil he wants. What does he want you for?

351
00:23:46.000 --> 00:23:48.400
<v Speaker 8>When did the police when they always arrested me when

352
00:23:48.400 --> 00:23:49.359
<v Speaker 8>they get a chance.

353
00:23:49.119 --> 00:24:01.440
<v Speaker 2>It's hands off.

354
00:23:58.279 --> 00:24:02.400
<v Speaker 8>One one before you can get here? No, no, not

355
00:24:02.400 --> 00:24:12.559
<v Speaker 8>that much to the church to sand your area might

356
00:24:12.759 --> 00:24:16.240
<v Speaker 8>magnificent one. You fear no when you fight for me

357
00:24:16.440 --> 00:24:18.640
<v Speaker 8>as long as there is when you want to fight, Yeah,

358
00:24:19.319 --> 00:24:21.960
<v Speaker 8>we want to be someone to fight. They will never

359
00:24:22.039 --> 00:24:22.759
<v Speaker 8>leave us alone?

360
00:24:22.839 --> 00:24:24.039
<v Speaker 4>Will they follow us in?

361
00:24:24.119 --> 00:24:24.279
<v Speaker 1>Here?

362
00:24:26.839 --> 00:24:29.799
<v Speaker 8>I know one door? They will not there follow us through?

363
00:24:30.039 --> 00:24:33.599
<v Speaker 4>What is that? This way?

364
00:24:34.839 --> 00:24:40.039
<v Speaker 8>Here? This door? First times, must rub my skirts close?

365
00:24:40.200 --> 00:24:45.039
<v Speaker 8>Now come cleanly through the middle. Do not please, do

366
00:24:45.240 --> 00:25:00.079
<v Speaker 8>not rub the world as you come. Now there we

367
00:25:00.279 --> 00:25:03.200
<v Speaker 8>are sick for a while. They will not follow us

368
00:25:03.240 --> 00:25:04.039
<v Speaker 8>through that door.

369
00:25:04.559 --> 00:25:04.960
<v Speaker 4>Why not?

370
00:25:05.599 --> 00:25:08.599
<v Speaker 8>It was the door of the unclean, the door of

371
00:25:08.680 --> 00:25:09.759
<v Speaker 8>the lepers.

372
00:25:10.440 --> 00:25:12.599
<v Speaker 4>The door It is all right.

373
00:25:12.799 --> 00:25:18.079
<v Speaker 8>We didn't touch the bottom. See at the far end

374
00:25:18.079 --> 00:25:19.839
<v Speaker 8>of the alley are the lights of the waterfront.

375
00:25:20.319 --> 00:25:22.240
<v Speaker 4>Yes, where do we go now?

376
00:25:22.480 --> 00:25:25.319
<v Speaker 8>We have a little time now to breathe the cleaner

377
00:25:25.480 --> 00:25:32.000
<v Speaker 8>of the harborn. Then I know a little someone is

378
00:25:32.039 --> 00:25:39.640
<v Speaker 8>coming shadow. What is it?

379
00:25:40.680 --> 00:25:42.000
<v Speaker 5>Whether what's happened a good old dough.

380
00:25:44.519 --> 00:25:46.000
<v Speaker 8>I do hope he's found my.

381
00:25:46.079 --> 00:25:49.960
<v Speaker 4>Idol, the idol. I must return the eye, my friend.

382
00:25:50.000 --> 00:25:52.960
<v Speaker 8>This is the greatest danger of all. Then you're waiting

383
00:25:52.960 --> 00:26:01.200
<v Speaker 8>any longer before. Don't go there.

384
00:26:04.000 --> 00:26:09.680
<v Speaker 4>Hello there, Well I got here before you, it appears.

385
00:26:10.079 --> 00:26:11.200
<v Speaker 8>Did you find the idol?

386
00:26:11.519 --> 00:26:11.799
<v Speaker 4>Yes?

387
00:26:11.880 --> 00:26:14.440
<v Speaker 3>But for a moment there I was afraid I should

388
00:26:14.480 --> 00:26:15.200
<v Speaker 3>miss the boat.

389
00:26:15.400 --> 00:26:19.160
<v Speaker 7>I say, you, boy, you're a bit disheveled.

390
00:26:19.200 --> 00:26:23.559
<v Speaker 3>What Yes, I got caught in the rain my idol.

391
00:26:24.680 --> 00:26:27.759
<v Speaker 8>Oh, mister Dawson, you got it all dirty?

392
00:26:28.759 --> 00:26:32.240
<v Speaker 4>Yes, it is a bit mussed. I dropped it once

393
00:26:32.359 --> 00:26:35.359
<v Speaker 4>or twice. I fear that was clumsy of you.

394
00:26:35.799 --> 00:26:38.160
<v Speaker 3>Nothing that a little soap and water won't put the

395
00:26:38.240 --> 00:26:40.119
<v Speaker 3>right I dare say, well.

396
00:26:40.799 --> 00:26:41.759
<v Speaker 1>We may hurry along.

397
00:26:41.839 --> 00:26:44.440
<v Speaker 4>I'd hate to spend any more time in this dreadful place.

398
00:26:46.559 --> 00:26:47.319
<v Speaker 4>There's the whistle.

399
00:26:47.519 --> 00:26:50.160
<v Speaker 8>That's the last morning got everybody?

400
00:26:50.720 --> 00:26:54.160
<v Speaker 7>Yes, yes, yes, are you coming, Dawson. Don't stand there

401
00:26:54.240 --> 00:26:55.839
<v Speaker 7>mooning we'll miss the boat?

402
00:26:56.119 --> 00:26:58.279
<v Speaker 4>Yes, yes, yes, And just a moment.

403
00:26:58.640 --> 00:27:02.079
<v Speaker 7>I say not someone standing over there in the shadow

404
00:27:02.119 --> 00:27:02.759
<v Speaker 7>of that alley.

405
00:27:03.319 --> 00:27:06.440
<v Speaker 4>I'm not sure. I thought for a moment I could

406
00:27:06.440 --> 00:27:07.039
<v Speaker 4>have sworn it.

407
00:27:07.119 --> 00:27:09.920
<v Speaker 3>I saw you wave goodbye to someone well, perhaps I

408
00:27:09.960 --> 00:27:13.440
<v Speaker 3>did to Mozambique to adventure and romance.

409
00:27:14.000 --> 00:27:15.759
<v Speaker 4>Oh, I say that's good.

410
00:27:16.319 --> 00:27:22.119
<v Speaker 7>That's very good adventure romance in this pestal I show

411
00:27:22.119 --> 00:27:22.720
<v Speaker 7>you what.

412
00:27:22.559 --> 00:27:24.720
<v Speaker 3>Would you say if I told you I had just

413
00:27:24.920 --> 00:27:28.119
<v Speaker 3>killed a man, fled over the rooftops of the city,

414
00:27:28.279 --> 00:27:31.880
<v Speaker 3>made love to a beautiful woman, but the police escaped

415
00:27:31.920 --> 00:27:34.119
<v Speaker 3>through the leper's gates.

416
00:27:34.160 --> 00:27:37.799
<v Speaker 7>Dawson, I said that you had the wireless imagination. I'd

417
00:27:37.799 --> 00:27:40.480
<v Speaker 7>ever heard of. Nothing like that ever happens to a

418
00:27:40.480 --> 00:27:41.640
<v Speaker 7>seven class passenger.

419
00:27:42.920 --> 00:27:50.200
<v Speaker 3>No, I suppose you're right, nothing like that ever happened

420
00:27:50.960 --> 00:27:52.759
<v Speaker 3>to a second class passenger.

421
00:27:56.680 --> 00:27:58.759
<v Speaker 4>Come on, Dawson, will miss the ball.
