1
00:00:07,679 --> 00:00:08,039
Speaker 1: Come in.

2
00:00:09,679 --> 00:00:15,919
Speaker 2: Welcome, Welcome to Mystery Theater. I am Hymen Brown. You're

3
00:00:15,919 --> 00:00:20,199
a special envoy from a wild and weird country that

4
00:00:20,359 --> 00:00:23,000
exists way down deep.

5
00:00:22,839 --> 00:00:24,640
Speaker 1: In your very own imagination.

6
00:00:26,039 --> 00:00:31,239
Speaker 2: To many people, especially city dwellers, grass is something to smoke,

7
00:00:31,839 --> 00:00:35,799
or perhaps something that has keep off signs on it.

8
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:40,719
The fact is, grass is the foundation of life as

9
00:00:40,759 --> 00:00:44,200
we know it. All the greens we eat are grasses.

10
00:00:44,759 --> 00:00:48,000
All of the meat we eat is nothing more than grasses.

11
00:00:48,359 --> 00:00:54,240
Transform in many ways, the quality of our existence depends

12
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:58,560
on the quality of our grass, which means that those

13
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:03,560
who can change that for better or worse literally hold

14
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:05,319
our lives in their hands.

15
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:07,719
Speaker 3: All we need is your confession.

16
00:01:07,879 --> 00:01:08,799
Speaker 4: I didn't kill you.

17
00:01:08,920 --> 00:01:10,840
Speaker 3: You swore you were going there to shoot him.

18
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,239
Speaker 5: I know, but you did go there. Yes, you confronted it.

19
00:01:15,040 --> 00:01:16,959
I did the gun.

20
00:01:18,159 --> 00:01:20,239
Speaker 3: This is the gun that fired the bullet. Can you

21
00:01:20,359 --> 00:01:20,920
identify it?

22
00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:24,840
Speaker 4: I already have. It's mine. I don't deny it. I

23
00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:26,640
tell you I didn't kill him.

24
00:01:26,799 --> 00:01:29,000
Speaker 6: Just look at all the even I don't care.

25
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:38,359
Speaker 4: About the evidence. I know I didn't kill him.

26
00:01:38,519 --> 00:01:42,920
Speaker 2: Our mystery drama Snake in the Grass was written especially

27
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:48,319
for the Mystery Theater by Sam Dan and stars Sandy Dennis.

28
00:01:49,319 --> 00:02:04,480
I'll be back shortly with Act one. Her name is

29
00:02:04,519 --> 00:02:09,400
Augustus Sanderson. She's thirty six years old. And while there

30
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,599
are those who say she has never been kissed, we

31
00:02:12,719 --> 00:02:16,639
cannot vouch for the complete accuracy of that statement.

32
00:02:17,439 --> 00:02:18,199
Speaker 1: What does she do?

33
00:02:18,879 --> 00:02:24,319
Speaker 2: She's an agriculturalist, an unusual occupation for a woman.

34
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 1: Or don't say that.

35
00:02:26,479 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 2: We live in liberated times. You'd be surprised at the

36
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:34,639
things women can do. You might venture to inquire why

37
00:02:34,639 --> 00:02:38,639
they want to do them, but that's another story. Our

38
00:02:38,719 --> 00:02:44,080
story begins in a quiet university town in the Northwest.

39
00:02:44,759 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 4: Ma'am, I'll thank you not to patronize me. Well, I say,

40
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,800
I'll thank you not to call me ma'am. Ma'am is

41
00:02:51,879 --> 00:02:54,319
short for madam, and I am neither the mistress of

42
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,120
a household or the keeper of a broth.

43
00:02:56,199 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 7: Well, I only wanted to say hello and welcome the

44
00:02:59,159 --> 00:03:02,439
peace for five years and oasis for the thirsty.

45
00:03:02,599 --> 00:03:05,719
Speaker 4: I have a ba an ma and a PhD. I

46
00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,599
hold a rank of full professor at the School of Agriculture.

47
00:03:08,719 --> 00:03:10,840
I don't have to be addressed as ma'am as if

48
00:03:10,879 --> 00:03:13,080
I were some fragile Victorian.

49
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:15,639
Speaker 6: Ladies, well House, doc or prop.

50
00:03:15,639 --> 00:03:19,879
Speaker 4: Now, I intend to become extremely aeviriated. And it's just

51
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,240
as well that I don't make a spectacle of myself.

52
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:27,439
Let me have a Oh what I don't know? Tell

53
00:03:27,479 --> 00:03:28,840
me what's best to make you forget?

54
00:03:29,039 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 7: Well, nothing can ever really make you forget very well,

55
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:33,719
but it's good for building courage.

56
00:03:33,759 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 6: Again nothing, that's not what I hear.

57
00:03:35,639 --> 00:03:39,680
Speaker 7: Well, it's true, you get maybe the illusion of courage, but.

58
00:03:39,719 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 6: Not the real thing.

59
00:03:40,719 --> 00:03:43,719
Speaker 4: Well, dispenser of illusions, poor one for me.

60
00:03:44,520 --> 00:03:47,240
Speaker 6: Oh you must be the lady prophet the egg school.

61
00:03:47,400 --> 00:03:49,560
Speaker 4: Huh, the lady Profitt the egg School.

62
00:03:50,479 --> 00:03:54,080
Speaker 6: You know doctor Howell? Do I know Doctor Howese? Yeah?

63
00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:55,560
I was reading about him in the paper.

64
00:03:55,639 --> 00:03:58,280
Speaker 4: Let me tell you how well I know doctor House.

65
00:03:58,439 --> 00:04:00,520
Speaker 6: Not a terrific thing he discovered.

66
00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 4: I know Eugene ever howls well enough to kill him.

67
00:04:03,319 --> 00:04:07,159
Speaker 7: There's new freed grass will mean that millions of starving people.

68
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 6: What do you say I.

69
00:04:09,919 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 4: Said, I intend to kill him? Yeah, well, all I

70
00:04:13,599 --> 00:04:16,560
need is the courage or the illusion of it, And

71
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:18,079
I'm feeling bolder every minute.

72
00:04:18,199 --> 00:04:20,279
Speaker 6: Yeah. Look, don't you think you're better?

73
00:04:20,319 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 4: Don't I think i'd better watch go home?

74
00:04:22,160 --> 00:04:23,839
Speaker 6: Stop talking foolishly.

75
00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:28,800
Speaker 4: That I have every right to talk foolishly. You know why,

76
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:30,600
because I've been a fool all my life.

77
00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:32,720
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, I'll get somebody to take you home.

78
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 4: The article in the paper said that doctor Howells discovered

79
00:04:36,319 --> 00:04:39,199
created the new feed grass. He didn't do it.

80
00:04:39,199 --> 00:04:45,680
Speaker 6: It didn't No, I did you did? Okay, I mean it.

81
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 4: I really mean it. It's mine. Oh sure, you see,

82
00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:54,360
you don't believe it. In the Himalayan regions in Asia,

83
00:04:54,399 --> 00:04:58,800
the terrain, the climate is almost like what we have here. No,

84
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,800
you have to follow this. They have an economy and

85
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:04,439
agricultural economy that's based on goats.

86
00:05:04,519 --> 00:05:04,879
Speaker 3: Goats.

87
00:05:05,079 --> 00:05:08,839
Speaker 4: Goats. The goats are actually sacred. The soil is calcareous

88
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,920
like ours, and a red clover grows there, but it's

89
00:05:11,959 --> 00:05:14,240
deficient in proteins and nitrogen.

90
00:05:14,519 --> 00:05:16,600
Speaker 6: You know what you need a nice coup of.

91
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:20,560
Speaker 4: Now I have been developing a species highly nutritious of

92
00:05:20,759 --> 00:05:24,439
purple clover. It would practically double the output.

93
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:25,199
Speaker 6: Of milk per fact.

94
00:05:25,639 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 4: Think of how many lives this will say.

95
00:05:28,040 --> 00:05:28,959
Speaker 6: That's really great.

96
00:05:29,079 --> 00:05:31,600
Speaker 4: You know, it could have been the supreme achievement of

97
00:05:31,639 --> 00:05:35,040
my career. It could have meant a Nobel prize, perhaps

98
00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:39,399
now there's talk of doctor Howell's winning it. It isn't fair.

99
00:05:39,639 --> 00:05:44,199
It's mine, don't you understand? It's my grass. I created it.

100
00:05:44,199 --> 00:05:48,240
It's mine. Tell me for doing that to me, for

101
00:05:48,399 --> 00:05:51,600
taking it from me. Isn't that enough to justify my

102
00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:52,720
killing him?

103
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,439
Speaker 7: I tell you what you ought to do. Prop you

104
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:57,800
want to go home and sleep on it.

105
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:02,600
Speaker 4: You don't believe me, You'll believe because I'm a woman,

106
00:06:02,680 --> 00:06:04,879
I'm incapable of scientific achievement.

107
00:06:05,079 --> 00:06:06,519
Speaker 3: Oh that's not so.

108
00:06:06,879 --> 00:06:08,759
Speaker 6: There's a whole lot of ladies scientist.

109
00:06:09,879 --> 00:06:14,879
Speaker 4: Thank you, Pete. Is that your name, Pete? Thank you

110
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:17,439
for listening to me.

111
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 3: Oh, it was my pleasure.

112
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:24,040
Speaker 4: And I see now, how clearly I see it. Now.

113
00:06:24,600 --> 00:06:26,720
If my life is to have any meaning at all,

114
00:06:27,319 --> 00:06:28,279
I must kill him.

115
00:06:28,439 --> 00:06:28,600
Speaker 1: Yeah.

116
00:06:28,639 --> 00:06:29,839
Speaker 6: Well it's really getting late.

117
00:06:29,920 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 3: You'll see.

118
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:32,319
Speaker 6: You'll feel better in the morning.

119
00:06:32,439 --> 00:06:35,959
Speaker 4: I feel better already. I'm strangely at peace with myself.

120
00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:40,279
I'm quite contented. You've made me see it. His death

121
00:06:40,319 --> 00:06:41,800
will rid me of all my demons.

122
00:06:41,879 --> 00:06:45,279
Speaker 7: Now, you really don't want to kill anyone. You're a lady.

123
00:06:45,639 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 4: Good night, Pete, you're a gentleman.

124
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:57,879
Speaker 7: Look Dame's dames, Well, she's going to be crazy.

125
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,160
Speaker 3: But what if she ain't crazy? Maybe I better.

126
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:05,519
Speaker 7: I don't know if I tell a story like this,

127
00:07:05,639 --> 00:07:16,079
what't they think I'm Nutstena.

128
00:07:11,399 --> 00:07:19,079
Speaker 3: Novak at all? This is Lieutenant Novak? Come Who's on

129
00:07:19,120 --> 00:07:20,800
the other end of this? Oh?

130
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 7: No, no, not him? Of all the cops who could

131
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:27,519
have answered that phone? Definitely not Novak?

132
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 4: Huh oh? Who who? Someone's at the door some just

133
00:07:45,199 --> 00:07:49,839
a minute? Who could be ringing the bell at this hour?

134
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:54,240
It's no. How could I have slept on you?

135
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 2: Just a minute.

136
00:07:58,199 --> 00:08:02,639
Speaker 4: I'll get on my just a minute. How could I

137
00:08:02,720 --> 00:08:10,959
have slept so late? Who is it police? Why would.

138
00:08:15,639 --> 00:08:20,199
Speaker 3: After Augusta Sanderson? Yes, I'm police, Lieutenant Novak? May I

139
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:20,560
come in?

140
00:08:20,879 --> 00:08:21,439
Speaker 6: Well? Yes?

141
00:08:24,079 --> 00:08:29,279
Speaker 3: Why you are Augusta Sanderson? I am miss Anderson. You're

142
00:08:29,360 --> 00:08:29,920
under arrest.

143
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,159
Speaker 4: What are you saying?

144
00:08:32,399 --> 00:08:33,960
Speaker 3: Jarge's suspicion of murder?

145
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:35,799
Speaker 4: Murder? Who's murder?

146
00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:37,799
Speaker 3: After Eugene Everett House?

147
00:08:37,919 --> 00:08:38,080
Speaker 2: Oh?

148
00:08:38,120 --> 00:08:40,879
Speaker 3: But you're making you must inform you of your constitutional right?

149
00:08:41,039 --> 00:08:45,320
Speaker 4: But I didn't care. Please please, you can't be serious.

150
00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:47,960
Are you saying Gene Howells is dead?

151
00:08:48,639 --> 00:08:49,080
Speaker 3: That's right?

152
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:51,279
Speaker 4: But why do you insist that you.

153
00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:53,159
Speaker 3: Said that you would kill him?

154
00:08:53,159 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 5: If you're only one now Professor Sanderson, who insisted to

155
00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:00,639
peat Grimes at the Oasis Barn night.

156
00:09:01,519 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 4: I was feeling very unhappy. And there are times when

157
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:05,519
you say things you shouldn't.

158
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:08,440
Speaker 3: You had a motive. Motive, didn't you say that he

159
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,600
has robbed you of a discovery. Oh that yes, that

160
00:09:12,679 --> 00:09:15,320
a discovery you considered great enough to make you eligible

161
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:16,480
for the Nobel Prize.

162
00:09:16,519 --> 00:09:21,159
Speaker 4: He didn't exactly rob me, No, No, I gave it

163
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:25,399
to him. I had to otherwise, Well, it wouldn't be used,

164
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,519
so I said take it. It might as well be yours.

165
00:09:28,919 --> 00:09:29,960
Speaker 3: Why did you give it to him?

166
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,639
Speaker 4: Because they wouldn't take it from me from a woman.

167
00:09:34,200 --> 00:09:35,519
Speaker 3: I don't know what you're talking about.

168
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:40,720
Speaker 4: In that part of Asia, women are considered well, not

169
00:09:40,879 --> 00:09:44,799
exactly unclean. But it's hard for you, as an American

170
00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:47,639
to visualize this. But the fact of my being a

171
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,919
woman would make the grass defiled, unfit for the goats,

172
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:52,559
which are holy animals.

173
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,600
Speaker 3: According to the way you told the story to Pete

174
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,200
last night, Howell's robbed you of the credit.

175
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:01,480
Speaker 4: He did, but I no choice. If I was to

176
00:10:01,519 --> 00:10:04,240
save millions of lives, I would have to sacrifice my

177
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:07,960
own vanity and say to gene. Let it be known

178
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,799
as yours. But afterward, when I saw how Howells was

179
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:12,399
preening himself, you killed him?

180
00:10:12,559 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 3: No, you left Pete Soass at nine pm. The karner

181
00:10:18,039 --> 00:10:21,000
places the time of death at midnight. Where were you

182
00:10:21,039 --> 00:10:21,559
at midnight?

183
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 4: Here? Right here?

184
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 3: Can anyone support that statement? According to mister Pete Grimes,

185
00:10:28,279 --> 00:10:30,120
you were acting somewhat strangely.

186
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 4: You could say that, yes, but I didn't kill him.

187
00:10:33,440 --> 00:10:35,799
Speaker 3: You went directly home after you left Pete so Aces

188
00:10:35,799 --> 00:10:39,279
at ninevs. Yes, the ballistics lab has established doctor Howe

189
00:10:39,440 --> 00:10:42,159
was killed by a twenty two caliber bullet on a gun.

190
00:10:42,919 --> 00:10:46,000
Speaker 4: Yes, yes, I have a twenty two caliber revolver which

191
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,279
I carry sometimes when I am in the field, especially

192
00:10:48,279 --> 00:10:49,480
when the snakes are shaddy.

193
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:50,639
Speaker 3: May I sin?

194
00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:55,200
Speaker 4: You see snakes are very nervous when they shed and

195
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:56,519
they strike at shadows.

196
00:10:56,879 --> 00:11:01,399
Speaker 3: Thank you. This gun's been fired recently?

197
00:11:01,519 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 4: Oh no, not in months.

198
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:07,759
Speaker 3: You've been smell it. You can see the fowling. Yeah,

199
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,240
five live cartridges and one empty shot that.

200
00:11:10,279 --> 00:11:12,840
Speaker 4: I haven't used. The gun should be empty.

201
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,320
Speaker 3: The lab will determine whether or not this is the gun.

202
00:11:16,399 --> 00:11:20,440
Speaker 4: But what I put the gun away? I didn't even

203
00:11:20,519 --> 00:11:22,399
have any bullets I was supposed to buy.

204
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:25,440
Speaker 3: I see the shoes you were wearing last night, by man,

205
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,360
what will my shoes show you that the houses having

206
00:11:28,399 --> 00:11:32,320
a sidewalk prepared, there's dirt mud in front of a doorstep.

207
00:11:32,399 --> 00:11:35,039
We have a mold of shoe prints. I'm sure these

208
00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:39,440
shoes were fit them. Has dried mud on these shoes?

209
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:45,559
Speaker 4: To Professor I, I can explain that can. I was angry,

210
00:11:45,799 --> 00:11:48,840
so I went to his house after I left the

211
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:49,519
oas which.

212
00:11:49,399 --> 00:11:50,559
Speaker 3: You said, you went directly home.

213
00:11:50,759 --> 00:11:53,159
Speaker 4: I know, I did. I know. I just thought that

214
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:57,480
it might be embarrassing if I admitted that nothing happened.

215
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:04,159
I just saw him brief and I left and came here, Professor.

216
00:12:06,080 --> 00:12:08,919
Speaker 3: There are people who get themselves into a highly agitated state.

217
00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:13,600
Then they commit a crime, a serious crime like murder.

218
00:12:14,519 --> 00:12:16,279
That was they forget all about it.

219
00:12:16,799 --> 00:12:19,279
Speaker 4: I am incapable of killing. I am not a murderer.

220
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:22,360
Speaker 3: What you're saying is you never killed anyone before. That's

221
00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:23,879
who the majority of murderers im.

222
00:12:24,639 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 4: But I know who I am and what I believe.

223
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,120
Speaker 3: And that's why you made sure you'd be caught and punished.

224
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:30,919
Because you were brought up to believe no one should

225
00:12:30,919 --> 00:12:31,480
get away with.

226
00:12:31,480 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 4: Murder, but I didn't.

227
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,559
Speaker 3: At first, you were sure to make a public announcement.

228
00:12:35,759 --> 00:12:39,879
Speaker 4: I wasn't making any I was over wrong.

229
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:43,159
Speaker 3: You were sure to state that you had a powerful motive. Third,

230
00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,200
you used your own gud. Why do you insist you

231
00:12:46,279 --> 00:12:47,639
must have been aware of the fact that you were

232
00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:51,200
leaving shoe marks in the dirt. Why didn't you avoid

233
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:54,240
doing that? Why couldn't you at least wipe off the mud?

234
00:12:56,039 --> 00:12:59,720
Now when now you just think about Nie.

235
00:13:02,159 --> 00:13:07,600
Speaker 4: Detective, I don't know what to say.

236
00:13:11,879 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 1: Well, did she or didn't she?

237
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 2: Even she doesn't know for sure that blacking out of

238
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:23,120
unpleasant memories is by no means a rare occurrence in

239
00:13:23,159 --> 00:13:28,240
our culture. Well, let's give her an opportunity to collect

240
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:32,000
her thoughts and see what, if anything, she can come

241
00:13:32,080 --> 00:13:32,480
up with.

242
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 1: Enact two.

243
00:13:46,759 --> 00:13:49,639
Speaker 2: They say, the wish is the father of the deed,

244
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:55,240
which is why we have inhibitions. No, after all, if

245
00:13:55,279 --> 00:13:58,279
every time you felt like killing someone you did it,

246
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:01,919
who among us would be out of jail? And so

247
00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:07,639
here we have Augustus Sanderson, PhD, a knowledgeable professor of

248
00:14:07,759 --> 00:14:12,039
agriculture about to be booked on a charge of homicide,

249
00:14:12,759 --> 00:14:16,840
talk about still waters running deep here is a quiet

250
00:14:16,879 --> 00:14:19,639
brook which apparently has no bottom.

251
00:14:19,879 --> 00:14:22,320
Speaker 4: What are you going to do with me, Lieutenant Novac?

252
00:14:22,919 --> 00:14:26,360
Take you in book, you, lieutenant, please give me a

253
00:14:26,480 --> 00:14:28,679
chance to think. That's not my job, but I have

254
00:14:28,759 --> 00:14:31,080
to get my thoughts together, and how can I think

255
00:14:31,159 --> 00:14:31,679
in jail.

256
00:14:32,200 --> 00:14:34,039
Speaker 3: I'm sure you'll get out on bond, but.

257
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,759
Speaker 4: I'll be a different person. I'll stand accused of murder.

258
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,840
People will look at me in a different way. I'll

259
00:14:39,879 --> 00:14:44,919
even look at myself differently. Please help me, help me

260
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:49,559
think it through from the beginning. Someone killed Jeene Howells.

261
00:14:49,679 --> 00:14:52,840
If I didn't kill him, who did?

262
00:14:52,919 --> 00:14:53,360
Speaker 6: Professor?

263
00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:56,559
Speaker 4: I need your help, the help of an experienced professional.

264
00:14:56,840 --> 00:14:59,679
Love my job, and once you arrest me, you'll be

265
00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:00,320
through with me.

266
00:15:00,679 --> 00:15:03,159
Speaker 3: I already arrested you. I even told you. You're right.

267
00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:05,799
Speaker 4: I know you said I had the right to counsel

268
00:15:05,879 --> 00:15:06,879
where you're my counselor.

269
00:15:06,919 --> 00:15:07,679
Speaker 3: I'm not a lawyer.

270
00:15:07,759 --> 00:15:10,679
Speaker 4: A counselor is one who advises. Now, please listen and

271
00:15:10,759 --> 00:15:12,960
advise me. Who else could have killed Jean Howells?

272
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:15,919
Speaker 3: Who else had a motive?

273
00:15:17,759 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 4: Let me explain that to you.

274
00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:20,159
Speaker 3: Now we're wasting time.

275
00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:23,600
Speaker 4: You never waste time, You only waste effort. Arrest me

276
00:15:23,639 --> 00:15:25,240
and you'll get further away from the truth.

277
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:26,279
Speaker 1: Or what is the truth?

278
00:15:26,879 --> 00:15:30,120
Speaker 4: What did happen? What is the chain of events that

279
00:15:30,240 --> 00:15:34,679
led you to my door? The first link among the

280
00:15:34,679 --> 00:15:37,679
exchange students at the university is the crown prince of

281
00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:42,080
a protectorate located high in the Himalayan mountains in Asia.

282
00:15:42,159 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 3: I know where the Himalaya mountains are.

283
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 4: And it occurred to me that I could help the

284
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:51,799
prince to help his countrymen, who are mostly poverty stricken herdsman.

285
00:15:52,559 --> 00:15:55,200
And so you see, Prince.

286
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:59,799
Speaker 5: Lutov, Oh, you must call me shorty, Ah, shorty.

287
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 8: Fabulous joke. You see, I am six feet tall. None

288
00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:07,919
of my countrymen grow that high. You see, my brother

289
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:12,320
Aliya is barely five feet That is average for our country,

290
00:16:12,919 --> 00:16:15,639
small people with small boards.

291
00:16:15,759 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 4: That's why I'm here, Prince, because your countrymen do not grow.

292
00:16:19,519 --> 00:16:25,000
Speaker 8: Fabulous you hear the dali A Lady Professor Ashakiba visits

293
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,879
us because our country people are small.

294
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:32,279
Speaker 5: There is great wisdom in this country, magnificent one, which is.

295
00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:36,960
Speaker 9: Why we are ali in public. Even you must call

296
00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:37,799
me shorty.

297
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:41,679
Speaker 4: The staple food of your people is milk, goat's milk.

298
00:16:41,960 --> 00:16:44,639
Speaker 9: The sacred goats of Kambar.

299
00:16:44,399 --> 00:16:48,080
Speaker 4: But the milk is scanty and significantly low in prot.

300
00:16:48,080 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 6: Milk is sacred.

301
00:16:50,399 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 5: What Thesaiba says is blasphemy.

302
00:16:52,519 --> 00:16:55,799
Speaker 4: The problem can be solved by introducing a new kind

303
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:59,840
of pasturage, a new clover which I have developed, one

304
00:17:00,159 --> 00:17:03,759
contains more nutrients, one that will double the output of milk.

305
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:07,359
We would have to arrange for proper plowing.

306
00:17:07,559 --> 00:17:10,079
Speaker 5: And see this, Magnificence wish is to thank you. You

307
00:17:10,200 --> 00:17:13,200
will be informed of his decision in due time. Yeah,

308
00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:17,480
but Ali, what because you are not at home, Magnificence shorty,

309
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:22,480
does that mean you may act without meditation or counsel?

310
00:17:23,319 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 8: Oh, he's right, Professor, He's always right. Maybe my younger brother,

311
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,240
but he has the braves in our family.

312
00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:37,079
Speaker 9: We will communicate with you in due time.

313
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:46,720
Speaker 4: I didn't know what to think here. I was offering

314
00:17:46,759 --> 00:17:50,559
these people a way to save millions of lives. Now,

315
00:17:51,039 --> 00:17:53,680
how could they be so cavalier about it? And would

316
00:17:53,759 --> 00:17:57,119
you believe? A week later, I received a note from.

317
00:17:56,920 --> 00:18:03,119
Speaker 5: Ali, Dear Professor Sanderson. After considerable meditation and prayer for guidance,

318
00:18:03,599 --> 00:18:08,279
his Magnificence, the Crown Prince Ludoff has determined that your

319
00:18:08,440 --> 00:18:13,759
estimable project is not practical at this time. Why is

320
00:18:13,759 --> 00:18:17,839
it impractical, Ahibe? It is impractical because you are a woman,

321
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:20,039
And because you are a.

322
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:22,039
Speaker 3: Woman, you are impure.

323
00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:25,799
Speaker 5: Really in what way in our country you would not

324
00:18:25,920 --> 00:18:28,799
be permitted to come in contact with the goats of Kandar,

325
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:30,759
which are sacred beasts.

326
00:18:30,799 --> 00:18:32,680
Speaker 4: But I'll have nothing to do with your God.

327
00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,759
Speaker 5: You will have provided them with food. The people will

328
00:18:35,799 --> 00:18:39,480
ask this new grass from whence does it come? And

329
00:18:39,599 --> 00:18:43,240
the answer it is the creation of a woman, which

330
00:18:43,279 --> 00:18:44,519
I'll have civil war.

331
00:18:44,839 --> 00:18:45,799
Speaker 4: No one has to know.

332
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:46,839
Speaker 6: It will come out.

333
00:18:47,279 --> 00:18:49,640
Speaker 5: It will be a major news event hailed all over

334
00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:50,039
the world.

335
00:18:50,079 --> 00:18:52,279
Speaker 3: Many of our people read you mean.

336
00:18:52,839 --> 00:18:56,279
Speaker 4: They would rather starve than accept food created by a woman.

337
00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:59,799
Speaker 5: Madam, this is our religion. It is not to be

338
00:19:00,440 --> 00:19:00,880
forgive me.

339
00:19:01,319 --> 00:19:07,839
Speaker 8: No, we appreciate your concern, professor, but we must analyze

340
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:09,480
the entire problem.

341
00:19:10,039 --> 00:19:12,880
Speaker 9: Your new grass may save.

342
00:19:13,039 --> 00:19:17,640
Speaker 8: Thousands from hunger, but cause just as many to die

343
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:18,640
in orions?

344
00:19:18,960 --> 00:19:21,119
Speaker 4: Is this being turned down because I am a woman?

345
00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:22,319
Is that the only reason?

346
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:26,359
Speaker 5: Yes, it's magnificenty shorty has no choice.

347
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:31,319
Speaker 4: Well, then perhaps there is something I can do.

348
00:19:35,359 --> 00:19:38,039
Speaker 3: What are you saying, Augusta.

349
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:39,640
Speaker 4: Jane, this is your discovery.

350
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,440
Speaker 3: But that's not right.

351
00:19:42,559 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 4: I've organized over this this thing. What am I supposed

352
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:53,839
to do? Let people starve because of their prejudices? And

353
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:57,319
what right have I to call them prejudices? Those are

354
00:19:57,319 --> 00:19:58,839
devoutly held beliefs.

355
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:04,240
Speaker 3: But this as this thick purple clover. I didn't know

356
00:20:04,279 --> 00:20:05,160
it could be developed.

357
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:05,920
Speaker 4: I didn't either.

358
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:08,880
Speaker 8: Well, how did the idea occur to you?

359
00:20:08,960 --> 00:20:14,839
Speaker 4: Perhaps? Well, perhaps it was supposed to occur to me?

360
00:20:15,759 --> 00:20:16,799
Speaker 3: Well what does that mean?

361
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:17,119
Speaker 6: Oh?

362
00:20:17,240 --> 00:20:18,720
Speaker 4: Anything? You'd like it to me?

363
00:20:19,279 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 3: Augusta. I'm afraid to take the credit.

364
00:20:23,839 --> 00:20:24,279
Speaker 4: Afraid.

365
00:20:24,839 --> 00:20:28,599
Speaker 3: I'm afraid of what it might do to me. This

366
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:31,519
will be hailed. You know that, don't you. Yes, it

367
00:20:31,559 --> 00:20:36,039
will earn its discoverer recognition awards. How will I react?

368
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:40,599
How will my personality change? I've always been content to

369
00:20:40,640 --> 00:20:41,720
do my work quietly.

370
00:20:41,799 --> 00:20:46,240
Speaker 4: Are you talking about life or death or hundreds of thousands,

371
00:20:46,839 --> 00:20:47,920
millions of people?

372
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:52,200
Speaker 3: And how will you change? Augusta? You'll see me regarded

373
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:54,759
as a savior. What will it do to you? You'll

374
00:20:54,759 --> 00:20:55,559
start to hate me?

375
00:20:56,319 --> 00:20:59,400
Speaker 4: I could never hate you, Chee.

376
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:04,000
Speaker 3: It is great. You've been struggling with this discovery for

377
00:21:04,079 --> 00:21:07,480
so long. You're going to regret it.

378
00:21:08,240 --> 00:21:10,480
Speaker 4: I'll think of all the children who'll have a chance

379
00:21:10,559 --> 00:21:12,720
to live. I'll regret nothing.

380
00:21:13,480 --> 00:21:14,319
Speaker 3: I'll regret it.

381
00:21:15,559 --> 00:21:18,680
Speaker 4: I thought and thought, there's no other way.

382
00:21:23,279 --> 00:21:26,160
Speaker 3: So you finally convinced doctor Howell to become a hero.

383
00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:31,079
So what you're telling me, yes, it's very nobloving, very

384
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:35,279
self sacrificing. So why did you accuse him of stealing

385
00:21:35,279 --> 00:21:36,599
everything in Pizza Oasis?

386
00:21:36,799 --> 00:21:40,880
Speaker 4: Because Jeanne was right. He started to believe after a

387
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:44,240
little while that the clover was actually his. It was

388
00:21:44,240 --> 00:21:46,839
supposed to be kept secret till we were ready for planting.

389
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,480
But he let out a word here and there, and well,

390
00:21:51,640 --> 00:21:56,880
compliments praise poured in. He started to preen himself.

391
00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:00,319
Speaker 3: And that's when you found out you're a human after all. Yes,

392
00:22:01,079 --> 00:22:02,680
and you gave up without a fight.

393
00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:05,920
Speaker 4: I'm not a fighter. I think it's more important for

394
00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:06,799
the grass to grow.

395
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 3: Now I have to repeat this vital question, professor, Why

396
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:14,240
give the credit to doctor.

397
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:18,799
Speaker 4: Howells because he is an authority on agriculture?

398
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:21,160
Speaker 3: Yes? Sure, but is he the only.

399
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:22,079
Speaker 4: One well knows?

400
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:24,400
Speaker 3: The fact is you could have given it to any

401
00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:25,519
number of people, isn't it true?

402
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:26,039
Speaker 4: Yes?

403
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:31,119
Speaker 3: Yes, all right, White Howells. Why I don't tell you

404
00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:38,359
why you're in love with him. That's that's one. That's

405
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:42,119
that's that's either true or false. You see, I listened

406
00:22:42,119 --> 00:22:45,240
every word you said, not only to the words, but

407
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:51,480
to how you said them. I could never hate you, Gene.

408
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:54,920
There's a tone in your voice when you say his name.

409
00:22:56,440 --> 00:22:58,599
That's funny. You call him Gene, he calls you Augusta.

410
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,440
Speaker 4: It's kind of everyone calls me Augusta.

411
00:23:02,599 --> 00:23:06,119
Speaker 3: As far as you're concerned, Doctor Howells, wasn't everyone.

412
00:23:05,799 --> 00:23:11,319
Speaker 4: I admit, I confess perhaps why shouldn't I have felt

413
00:23:11,319 --> 00:23:16,000
that I as I was in love with him. We

414
00:23:16,079 --> 00:23:17,720
certainly had similar interests, And so.

415
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:23,880
Speaker 3: You gave him this uh grass discovery, hoping somehow that

416
00:23:23,960 --> 00:23:24,799
he might respond to you.

417
00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:30,640
Speaker 4: I gave him the credit because of the starving people.

418
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,079
Speaker 3: Sure, and also because he might feel he owed you

419
00:23:33,119 --> 00:23:36,200
something like a proposal of merriage.

420
00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:36,920
Speaker 4: That's a lie.

421
00:23:38,480 --> 00:23:43,039
Speaker 3: Only you know that for sure. All right, Maybe there

422
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:45,640
wasn't so cut and dried. A few things are, but

423
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:51,200
there was an element of give and take. Wasn't the yes.

424
00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:54,960
But your generosity didn't change the nature of your relationship

425
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:55,799
with Howells, did it?

426
00:23:56,039 --> 00:23:56,200
Speaker 4: No?

427
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:01,039
Speaker 3: It was no friendship at best. Then yes, and that's

428
00:24:01,319 --> 00:24:05,799
what really infuriated you. No, you were, as they say

429
00:24:05,839 --> 00:24:07,319
in the books, the woman spurned.

430
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 4: Please believe me, I didn't kill him.

431
00:24:10,400 --> 00:24:16,079
Speaker 3: I'm afraid we have to go to police headquarters, Professor Sanders,

432
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:19,319
and I admire you. You're a woman who worked hard

433
00:24:19,319 --> 00:24:20,960
against a lot of odds to get where you are.

434
00:24:22,240 --> 00:24:24,759
On the way, you must have missed out on many things.

435
00:24:24,759 --> 00:24:26,480
Speaker 4: Please, I am telling you, I am Inns.

436
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:29,799
Speaker 3: There was something between you and how No, well, what

437
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:34,000
did happen? You're giving me a story about some purple grass,

438
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:37,359
some asiatic prince, some deal you made to give Howls

439
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:40,119
the credit for something. How do I know any of it?

440
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:40,640
It's true?

441
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:41,440
Speaker 4: What are you saying?

442
00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:44,160
Speaker 3: This, misses is about the grass? All I've got is

443
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:44,759
your word for it.

444
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:45,839
Speaker 4: I tell you it's true.

445
00:24:45,839 --> 00:24:49,079
Speaker 3: All all right. There's only one way to find out,

446
00:24:51,200 --> 00:25:00,880
isn't there? Yes, how pupil, Prince.

447
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:05,400
Speaker 9: Shorty, you must call me Shorty.

448
00:25:05,759 --> 00:25:09,519
Speaker 3: I'm a police detective. As I believe this gentleman has

449
00:25:09,519 --> 00:25:10,119
told you.

450
00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:12,920
Speaker 8: Oh yes, my brother Ali informed me.

451
00:25:13,680 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 1: It's fabulous.

452
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:20,039
Speaker 6: You know this lady, this lady, of course they know me.

453
00:25:20,799 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 9: Ali. Is this charming lady familiar?

454
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:25,880
Speaker 6: No?

455
00:25:26,160 --> 00:25:29,119
Speaker 4: You must remend them. Me. I was here to tell

456
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:30,279
you all about my new.

457
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:32,160
Speaker 6: Grass, grass.

458
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:35,839
Speaker 9: Ali, what would we have to do with grass?

459
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:39,279
Speaker 5: We have never seen this lady before in our lives.

460
00:25:39,039 --> 00:25:41,839
Speaker 8: So it is a pity because she is the most

461
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:42,880
charming lady.

462
00:25:43,279 --> 00:25:46,160
Speaker 4: We talk about the goats, the sacred goats of Kandar,

463
00:25:46,279 --> 00:25:48,160
and you said, because I was a woman, I was

464
00:25:48,160 --> 00:25:48,640
in theory.

465
00:25:48,799 --> 00:25:51,359
Speaker 9: Oh that is impossible. Why should we insult you?

466
00:25:51,599 --> 00:25:54,519
Speaker 4: I told you the discovery would belong to doctor Howells,

467
00:25:54,559 --> 00:25:56,920
and you said, in that case you would accept it.

468
00:25:57,000 --> 00:25:59,559
Speaker 9: Ali, do we know doctor Howan?

469
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:00,440
Speaker 6: No.

470
00:26:00,759 --> 00:26:06,720
Speaker 3: When I was here, we spoke, Professor, it's time we

471
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:07,279
were leaving.

472
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:12,920
Speaker 1: Ever get the.

473
00:26:12,839 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 2: Feeling that everybody around you is crazy and that you

474
00:26:16,759 --> 00:26:21,000
are the only sane, sensible person in the room or

475
00:26:21,039 --> 00:26:24,240
even the world. Well, if you ever did, you are

476
00:26:24,279 --> 00:26:28,440
in a perfect position to appreciate what is going on inside,

477
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:33,839
Professor Augustus Sanderson, this very moment. Well, we still have

478
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:38,519
the third act, and usually we manage to sort these

479
00:26:38,559 --> 00:26:39,640
things out.

480
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:53,839
Speaker 1: What do you do when you were accused of murder?

481
00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:58,079
Speaker 2: I suppose you admitted if it's true, and deny it

482
00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:01,960
if it's false. Suppose you are not sure of the answer.

483
00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:07,440
Suppose the charge could be true or false. Suppose you

484
00:27:07,599 --> 00:27:10,680
reached that point where you just don't know.

485
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 1: Is such a state of affairs possible?

486
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:17,400
Speaker 4: But I was here, I spoke to you both.

487
00:27:17,799 --> 00:27:23,079
Speaker 8: Oh would we forget so delightful a lady as you.

488
00:27:23,279 --> 00:27:27,519
Speaker 5: Ya Sahiba is mistaken. I can't be German.

489
00:27:27,759 --> 00:27:29,000
Speaker 3: I'm sorry we bothered you.

490
00:27:29,279 --> 00:27:33,039
Speaker 8: Oh it was no bother. Just think Ali. When we

491
00:27:33,119 --> 00:27:36,000
returned home, we can say we had to visit from

492
00:27:36,079 --> 00:27:40,880
a real American detective or fabulous.

493
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,920
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, Professor Sanderson. The trainers come to the end

494
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:47,599
of the line last time, all out.

495
00:27:55,319 --> 00:27:58,599
Speaker 4: What what does one bring to a jail?

496
00:27:59,599 --> 00:28:05,079
Speaker 3: Well, a toothbrush, a change of clothes? Like I say,

497
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:07,720
you've got a good chance of being out on bond.

498
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:12,960
Speaker 4: Thank you, Lieutenant Novak. I can prove that I gave

499
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:16,240
the credit for the discovery to doctor Howell's well, I

500
00:28:16,279 --> 00:28:19,440
suppose you did, and that would prove that those two

501
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:19,920
are lying.

502
00:28:20,759 --> 00:28:23,160
Speaker 3: No, it will only prove that you gave the discovery

503
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:25,759
to not the house for reasons.

504
00:28:25,279 --> 00:28:25,720
Speaker 9: Of your roll.

505
00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:27,079
Speaker 4: What reasons would I have?

506
00:28:28,039 --> 00:28:30,759
Speaker 3: Personal reasons? That's why you killed him?

507
00:28:30,880 --> 00:28:32,880
Speaker 4: I still say I didn't do it.

508
00:28:34,079 --> 00:28:35,759
Speaker 3: Well, No, that's your stories. Stick to it.

509
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:37,799
Speaker 4: I didn't someone stole my revolver.

510
00:28:39,039 --> 00:28:41,720
Speaker 3: Professor, You'll have to convince a jury.

511
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:42,519
Speaker 4: You don't believe it.

512
00:28:44,839 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 3: What I believe right now doesn't matter at all. I'll

513
00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:51,200
just packed a small bag.

514
00:28:56,400 --> 00:28:56,759
Speaker 9: Elie.

515
00:28:57,079 --> 00:29:00,559
Speaker 3: Yes, magnificence till me brother.

516
00:29:01,799 --> 00:29:05,440
Speaker 8: Why did we have to engage in that sharade with

517
00:29:05,519 --> 00:29:06,480
the police, detective?

518
00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:11,960
Speaker 5: I thought it would be instructive, instructive. Why have we

519
00:29:12,039 --> 00:29:15,640
come to this most democratic of all countries.

520
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:17,359
Speaker 6: You were the one who insisted.

521
00:29:17,440 --> 00:29:21,440
Speaker 8: I know, I know, I wanted to live like an

522
00:29:21,559 --> 00:29:24,200
ordinary common member of the people and.

523
00:29:24,200 --> 00:29:29,319
Speaker 5: Desire I could never understand well the common people, whether

524
00:29:29,359 --> 00:29:34,160
they be ignorant shepherds or sophisticated Americans, act alike as

525
00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:35,519
far as the police are concerned.

526
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:37,000
Speaker 9: Is that true?

527
00:29:37,079 --> 00:29:40,319
Speaker 5: When questioned by police? The common people in America do

528
00:29:40,519 --> 00:29:42,160
exactly as our people do.

529
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:45,920
Speaker 4: But they have the most factorisque phrase for it?

530
00:29:46,799 --> 00:29:52,400
Speaker 8: They clam up, climb up, how beautifully descriptive.

531
00:29:52,680 --> 00:29:55,279
Speaker 6: In both countries one simplate as not.

532
00:29:55,319 --> 00:29:59,519
Speaker 5: They come involved with the police. And so when I

533
00:29:59,559 --> 00:30:02,720
heard the an officer at at all, I decided to

534
00:30:02,759 --> 00:30:04,680
act in our best interests.

535
00:30:04,799 --> 00:30:08,599
Speaker 6: Who knows a thing like this could lead glum up.

536
00:30:08,799 --> 00:30:12,039
It is, after all, my duty to advise you.

537
00:30:12,799 --> 00:30:18,160
Speaker 9: Fabulous Are you.

538
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 3: Ready, Professor? As I said, you don't have to pack

539
00:30:20,720 --> 00:30:21,200
too much.

540
00:30:22,079 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 4: Lieutenant Lutof and his brother Ali were lying.

541
00:30:25,799 --> 00:30:29,519
Speaker 3: It's all in the hands of the jury. Now, well,

542
00:30:29,559 --> 00:30:34,119
what do you want me to say? Look, I want

543
00:30:34,200 --> 00:30:37,359
to know something. I like you.

544
00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:41,119
Speaker 4: Please don't don't want don't say meaningless words in an

545
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:42,720
attempt to make me feel better.

546
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:51,799
Speaker 3: I like you because you're a woman who's smart, who well,

547
00:30:51,839 --> 00:30:52,599
who's good looking.

548
00:30:53,079 --> 00:30:55,359
Speaker 4: If you really liked me, you'd listen to my story.

549
00:30:55,519 --> 00:30:58,880
Speaker 3: Because I like you, I'm advising you to change it.

550
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:04,000
You to beat this. Don't you tell the truth? The

551
00:31:04,079 --> 00:31:06,680
truth is always the best defense, no matter how bleak

552
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:10,920
it looks. The jewelry responds to the truth. They feel it,

553
00:31:12,079 --> 00:31:13,160
they respect you for it.

554
00:31:13,200 --> 00:31:14,559
Speaker 4: But I am telling the truth.

555
00:31:14,599 --> 00:31:18,599
Speaker 3: No, it was a lover's quarrel. I have your lawyer.

556
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:20,319
Get women on the jury. They eat that up.

557
00:31:22,480 --> 00:31:25,799
Speaker 4: If you're going to arrest me, get it over with, Okay,

558
00:31:25,839 --> 00:31:28,799
I just wish it'd listen. The truth is someone came

559
00:31:28,920 --> 00:31:31,960
here stole my gun. My gun, you have it. I

560
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:32,920
want a receipt for it.

561
00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 3: You'll get it will be an exhibit at the trial.

562
00:31:36,119 --> 00:31:41,000
One twenty two caliber revolver, five cartridges, one empty shell.

563
00:31:41,119 --> 00:31:43,119
Speaker 4: I don't care about those. They don't belong to me.

564
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:45,799
I wouldn't keep a loaded gun in the house. I

565
00:31:45,839 --> 00:31:48,680
don't even have any bullets. I told you, Why can't

566
00:31:48,680 --> 00:31:49,240
you believe?

567
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:51,920
Speaker 3: Because if I believed you, I'd have to believe in

568
00:31:52,000 --> 00:32:01,440
Sada Claus. And furthermore, Hey, maybe I do what these cartridges,

569
00:32:03,839 --> 00:32:07,720
these contridges, they're not American maid. Look at what it

570
00:32:07,759 --> 00:32:10,400
says on the rim of each cantridge. Yeah, yeah, but

571
00:32:10,519 --> 00:32:16,880
the manufacturer has his name. That's not American writing post letters.

572
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,279
Speaker 4: It's a different alphabet. They could be.

573
00:32:20,319 --> 00:32:27,480
Speaker 3: Hindi foreign shells made in India. Nobody sells them around here.

574
00:32:28,640 --> 00:32:30,960
Speaker 4: It was the younger brother Ali.

575
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:31,519
Speaker 3: Hold it.

576
00:32:35,079 --> 00:32:37,759
Speaker 4: I know why it was Ali. Let me tell you

577
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:40,440
from the very beginning. He was the one who was

578
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:41,319
a post I'll.

579
00:32:41,160 --> 00:32:44,279
Speaker 3: Hold it a minute. Ah, this is Lieutenant Novak. I

580
00:32:44,319 --> 00:32:47,400
need something in a hurry. You got that crown friends

581
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:50,359
going to the college and his brother. All right, get

582
00:32:50,359 --> 00:32:55,039
the phone number, call him, say it's a routine annual

583
00:32:55,039 --> 00:32:58,799
inquiry about guns. Ask if he has one? What kind?

584
00:33:00,359 --> 00:33:03,519
All right? Call me right back of this number. Uh

585
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:05,759
two two seven eight three h eight.

586
00:33:07,119 --> 00:33:09,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, the bullets have to belong to Ali.

587
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:12,160
Speaker 3: Only if he has a twenty two of his arm.

588
00:33:12,240 --> 00:33:13,599
Speaker 4: It was Ali, I know it.

589
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:14,920
Speaker 3: How can you be so sure?

590
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:18,119
Speaker 4: He came here? He stole my gun? But it was empty,

591
00:33:18,359 --> 00:33:21,200
It was nighttime, the stores are closed. Where can he

592
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:23,359
buy bullets? He can't, So he goes home, he gets

593
00:33:23,359 --> 00:33:23,839
his own.

594
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:27,640
Speaker 3: He would only have those bullets if he owns a

595
00:33:27,720 --> 00:33:28,200
twenty two.

596
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:31,720
Speaker 4: He has to, he must. It's the only thing that makes.

597
00:33:31,519 --> 00:33:33,920
Speaker 3: Sense, all right, all right, Even if we can prove

598
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:36,160
these are his cartridges, you know what he can say.

599
00:33:37,519 --> 00:33:40,640
He can say you stole them because you're trying to

600
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:43,480
construct the case against him, and you are.

601
00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:46,519
Speaker 4: I just know he killed Jean Howells.

602
00:33:47,079 --> 00:33:50,839
Speaker 3: Let's examine your whole story. They won't take the grass

603
00:33:50,839 --> 00:33:52,319
seed from you because you're a woman.

604
00:33:52,599 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 5: All right, Fine, you give it to doctor Howells. Now,

605
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:00,240
Now what's the objection?

606
00:34:01,119 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 6: Now?

607
00:34:01,279 --> 00:34:02,000
Speaker 3: It's plain sanding?

608
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:02,279
Speaker 4: Is it?

609
00:34:02,440 --> 00:34:06,240
Speaker 3: Plant the new grass? Feed all a hungry people? What's wrong?

610
00:34:06,599 --> 00:34:10,039
Speaker 4: Alie? He hits Ali. When I saw Jeane howls last night,

611
00:34:10,079 --> 00:34:12,079
he was terribly depressed and very frightened.

612
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:22,199
Speaker 3: No, tenna nova. Yeah, oh he does, Okay. Ben Sally

613
00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:24,599
has a twenty two pistol registered.

614
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:26,960
Speaker 4: In his name, which means these are his bullets.

615
00:34:27,559 --> 00:34:29,920
Speaker 3: You said doctor Howells was depressed?

616
00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:36,639
Speaker 4: Why why? Why let me think? I was so angry

617
00:34:36,639 --> 00:34:39,440
and upset when I went to see him. I know

618
00:34:39,639 --> 00:34:41,840
I went in there hating him, and I left feeling

619
00:34:42,920 --> 00:34:43,719
feeling sorry for.

620
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:46,400
Speaker 3: You haven't told me. Why what did he say to me?

621
00:34:48,599 --> 00:34:52,679
Speaker 4: Let me try to remember exactly what he said to me.

622
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:57,960
Speaker 3: I wish i'd never heard of that clover of yours.

623
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:01,960
Speaker 4: Really fast time I read the papers, it was that

624
00:35:02,079 --> 00:35:03,119
clover of yours.

625
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:08,079
Speaker 3: It's mine only because that's how you'd have it. I

626
00:35:08,199 --> 00:35:11,039
told you this had happened, you'd have second thoughts and

627
00:35:11,079 --> 00:35:12,519
the height have a guilty conscience.

628
00:35:12,920 --> 00:35:15,199
Speaker 4: I'm sorry, it is all my fault.

629
00:35:15,719 --> 00:35:20,519
Speaker 1: And it may have been all for nothing. Why they

630
00:35:20,559 --> 00:35:21,679
don't want the grass?

631
00:35:23,119 --> 00:35:25,880
Speaker 3: They didn't realize it was purple in color?

632
00:35:26,559 --> 00:35:27,840
Speaker 4: What's wrong with purple?

633
00:35:27,960 --> 00:35:31,480
Speaker 3: Allie explained that purple is an unlucky color, and so

634
00:35:31,639 --> 00:35:34,679
the time wasn't right, but perhaps in the future was

635
00:35:34,760 --> 00:35:35,679
supposed to happen.

636
00:35:35,719 --> 00:35:38,920
Speaker 4: In the future, if purple is unlucky, it will always

637
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:39,679
be unlucky.

638
00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:43,559
Speaker 3: I became angry. I told Ali somehow I would let

639
00:35:43,599 --> 00:35:45,840
his people know about this grass and how badly they

640
00:35:45,840 --> 00:35:46,159
need it.

641
00:35:46,199 --> 00:35:47,159
Speaker 4: And what was his answer?

642
00:35:47,519 --> 00:35:53,039
Speaker 3: Nothing? He looked at me, just looked those funny eyes.

643
00:35:54,679 --> 00:35:58,239
Well you think they're funny, but they can be frightening.

644
00:36:00,039 --> 00:36:01,079
Speaker 9: Augusta, Why did you.

645
00:36:01,039 --> 00:36:02,119
Speaker 1: Have to tempt me with this?

646
00:36:02,599 --> 00:36:03,960
Speaker 4: Please, Jean, try to be calm.

647
00:36:04,079 --> 00:36:05,280
Speaker 9: It's going to end badly.

648
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:05,920
Speaker 3: I know it.

649
00:36:06,039 --> 00:36:08,639
Speaker 4: We tried. They won't take our help. This is all

650
00:36:08,679 --> 00:36:15,119
we can do. Prince Lutov was willing to go along,

651
00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:17,440
and it was Ali who raised the objection, And when

652
00:36:17,480 --> 00:36:19,880
that objection was removed, it was Ali who found a

653
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:20,840
new one the color.

654
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:23,280
Speaker 3: Well, why would Ali want his people to go on starving?

655
00:36:23,400 --> 00:36:28,880
Speaker 4: Because wait, wait, Jean said. Ali had told him that

656
00:36:29,679 --> 00:36:34,039
the time wasn't ripe. Perhaps in the future when it

657
00:36:34,039 --> 00:36:35,800
could do Ali himself some good?

658
00:36:36,559 --> 00:36:39,159
Speaker 3: Are you saying Ali has ideas of his own.

659
00:36:39,559 --> 00:36:42,920
Speaker 4: If Prince Lutov is overthrown, and he could be, if

660
00:36:42,920 --> 00:36:44,400
the people get hungry enough.

661
00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:46,400
Speaker 3: Does Ali get the top spot and then.

662
00:36:46,360 --> 00:36:49,599
Speaker 4: As the new ruler, Ali can claim Heaven showed him

663
00:36:49,599 --> 00:36:52,360
a new grass, and henceforth purple will be the color

664
00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:57,360
favored by the gods. But there's one thing. Where would

665
00:36:57,360 --> 00:36:59,119
he get the grass with Jean.

666
00:36:59,039 --> 00:37:01,159
Speaker 3: Dead when he could come to you with a brand

667
00:37:01,159 --> 00:37:01,719
new story.

668
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:04,519
Speaker 4: No, No, the woman thing is too deeply rooted.

669
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:09,199
Speaker 3: Well as it stands right now? Well, what is the grass?

670
00:37:09,199 --> 00:37:10,199
Where does it exist?

671
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:14,360
Speaker 4: The grass is a box full of seeds, plus volumes

672
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:18,119
of notes detailing hundreds of experiments, how it's formed, how

673
00:37:18,159 --> 00:37:18,920
it should be played.

674
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:19,920
Speaker 3: Where is all the stuff?

675
00:37:21,239 --> 00:37:24,760
Speaker 4: I turned it over to Gene. It should all be

676
00:37:24,840 --> 00:37:30,639
in his files at home, and I'll bet it's gone.

677
00:37:34,800 --> 00:37:37,840
I delivered the seeds and the notes to him myself.

678
00:37:38,119 --> 00:37:39,840
The only place he could keep them would be in

679
00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:40,360
these files.

680
00:37:40,400 --> 00:37:41,760
Speaker 3: Are you sure they wouldn't be anywhere else?

681
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:45,880
Speaker 4: I'm positive. Besides, look at the notation on this drawer

682
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:51,440
PC purple clover and the drawer is empty.

683
00:37:51,719 --> 00:37:53,000
Speaker 3: Huh that's that?

684
00:37:53,199 --> 00:37:54,000
Speaker 4: What does that mean?

685
00:37:55,360 --> 00:38:00,440
Speaker 3: We have a very good hypothesis but no evidence so far.

686
00:38:00,639 --> 00:38:02,599
You are still the best suspect.

687
00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:05,960
Speaker 4: But you know I am innocent. There must be some

688
00:38:06,119 --> 00:38:09,760
way we can prove that Ali is uh. I have

689
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:13,360
an idea. I'll go to see Prince Ali and I'll

690
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:16,280
confront him with what we know that will force him

691
00:38:16,320 --> 00:38:18,400
to threaten me, perhaps to try to kill me. You

692
00:38:18,440 --> 00:38:19,719
can save me at the last minute.

693
00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:24,239
Speaker 3: It's why because this is a country of laws. What

694
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:26,960
you're suggesting is illegal. Why is it illegal because it's

695
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:28,199
considered entrapments.

696
00:38:28,480 --> 00:38:30,480
Speaker 4: But you see it all the time in the movies.

697
00:38:30,280 --> 00:38:33,400
Speaker 3: And those movies all end up before the judge throws

698
00:38:33,440 --> 00:38:37,519
the evidence out of court. But you did give me

699
00:38:37,519 --> 00:38:42,559
an idea. It's a very simple routine idea. Now you

700
00:38:42,599 --> 00:38:44,599
go home. Wait then what are you going to do?

701
00:38:44,639 --> 00:38:46,760
Just police business? Just go home and wait.

702
00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:48,119
Speaker 4: But I can't wait.

703
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:50,079
Speaker 3: You'll just have to.

704
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:59,280
Speaker 8: No, so you will really quite and better.

705
00:38:59,679 --> 00:39:02,000
Speaker 4: Younger brother is plotting against you.

706
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:05,679
Speaker 9: Ali. Oh, that is impossible.

707
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:07,000
Speaker 3: The woman is mad.

708
00:39:07,280 --> 00:39:10,000
Speaker 4: Ali wants your people to starve so they will revolt.

709
00:39:10,480 --> 00:39:12,920
You will be killed. He succeeds you, and then he

710
00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:14,320
gives them the purple grass.

711
00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:16,559
Speaker 5: That's a lie, fabulous, that's true.

712
00:39:16,960 --> 00:39:20,639
Speaker 4: He has discouraged you from accepting the clover. Why he

713
00:39:20,679 --> 00:39:22,320
wants to give it to the people himself.

714
00:39:22,360 --> 00:39:24,320
Speaker 9: She's mad. Oh what a woman.

715
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:29,239
Speaker 8: Look at the fire in her eyes. You may think

716
00:39:29,280 --> 00:39:33,519
I'm young for you, professor, but I value an older woman.

717
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:37,599
Speaker 4: Don't you understand the implications of what I am saying

718
00:39:37,679 --> 00:39:39,280
to you be my first wife.

719
00:39:39,639 --> 00:39:43,880
Speaker 8: The others don't matter. They're only concubines. You will rule

720
00:39:44,239 --> 00:39:46,000
and with fabulous wisdom.

721
00:39:46,159 --> 00:39:47,880
Speaker 4: I'm telling you about your brother.

722
00:39:48,199 --> 00:39:51,599
Speaker 8: Oh, I know he's plotting against me. It is expected

723
00:39:51,639 --> 00:39:56,840
a brother. You know, didn't I plot against our older brother?

724
00:39:57,199 --> 00:39:59,400
Speaker 5: Then you should have done something about me when you

725
00:39:59,480 --> 00:40:00,360
had the child.

726
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:03,480
Speaker 9: What are you doing with the pistol?

727
00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:05,400
Speaker 6: She'll be blamed.

728
00:40:06,079 --> 00:40:09,039
Speaker 5: She'll be thought mad because of her purple grass. She's

729
00:40:09,079 --> 00:40:13,920
already killed her mother, and now you, because you made

730
00:40:13,960 --> 00:40:15,480
her give up her discovery.

731
00:40:16,159 --> 00:40:17,199
Speaker 3: It's not gonna work that way.

732
00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:17,480
Speaker 2: All.

733
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:23,519
Speaker 3: Just lower that gun. That's nice. Why don't you come here,

734
00:40:23,519 --> 00:40:26,119
Augusta because you didn't think I can help you?

735
00:40:26,320 --> 00:40:26,800
Speaker 9: Well, I thought.

736
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:30,119
Speaker 3: I just went back for a search warrant. All we

737
00:40:30,159 --> 00:40:31,679
have to do is find the scenes and the notes

738
00:40:31,679 --> 00:40:34,599
in his possession. Will we find them?

739
00:40:34,599 --> 00:40:34,760
Speaker 7: All?

740
00:40:35,639 --> 00:40:40,800
Speaker 9: They are in his trug? No, of course I knew.

741
00:40:41,639 --> 00:40:43,920
I plan to take care of.

742
00:40:43,800 --> 00:40:46,480
Speaker 8: You as soon as we return to our own country.

743
00:40:47,119 --> 00:40:51,480
Here I am restricted by all kinds of legalities French.

744
00:40:51,639 --> 00:40:54,760
Speaker 3: I intend to arrest your brother when you claim any

745
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:55,960
diplomatic privilege.

746
00:40:56,239 --> 00:41:01,320
Speaker 9: Mom At all the law is secret. It was be observed.

747
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:05,480
Speaker 3: Smedie go get his trunk, well said, take him to

748
00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:06,159
the station house.

749
00:41:06,480 --> 00:41:11,360
Speaker 8: You will, Professor Sanderson, shall you consider my proposal?

750
00:41:11,440 --> 00:41:13,199
Speaker 3: You can't do that. She has to come along with me.

751
00:41:14,039 --> 00:41:14,920
Speaker 4: Where are we going?

752
00:41:15,519 --> 00:41:18,480
Speaker 3: That's way, ma'am?

753
00:41:18,639 --> 00:41:22,159
Speaker 4: Where are you taking me? Surely I'm not under.

754
00:41:21,960 --> 00:41:27,079
Speaker 3: Arrest, Amerson? You'd consider going off to Asia with that?

755
00:41:28,559 --> 00:41:29,199
That character?

756
00:41:29,639 --> 00:41:33,960
Speaker 4: Oh, I have to take it under very serious consideration.

757
00:41:35,159 --> 00:41:37,960
Speaker 3: Why it's the first.

758
00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:40,360
Speaker 4: Time anyone at all made me a proposal?

759
00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:47,320
Speaker 3: Or relax, you're about to get another one.

760
00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:54,920
Speaker 1: I'll be back shortly.

761
00:41:55,480 --> 00:42:03,599
Speaker 2: With a final thought, how slender a thread holds up

762
00:42:03,639 --> 00:42:07,639
the world. If a million goats can give an extra

763
00:42:07,679 --> 00:42:10,760
pint of milk a day, that can mean the difference

764
00:42:10,800 --> 00:42:13,880
between life and death for thousands of children.

765
00:42:14,559 --> 00:42:17,840
Speaker 1: So the true heroes are the overlooked.

766
00:42:17,239 --> 00:42:21,960
Speaker 2: And unknown heroes who daily solve the really great mystery

767
00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:26,400
how to get an acre to yield another few bushels

768
00:42:26,519 --> 00:42:30,400
or the hen to lay another egg. Our cast included

769
00:42:30,719 --> 00:42:35,800
Sandy Dennis, Ralph Bell, Robert Dryden, and Arnold Stang.

770
00:42:36,559 --> 00:42:39,119
Speaker 1: Associate director Marlon Swing.

771
00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:44,519
Speaker 2: This is Hyman Brown, producer director inviting you to return

772
00:42:44,599 --> 00:42:49,760
to our mystery Theater for another adventure in the Macawbreo

773
00:42:49,960 --> 00:43:03,840
until next time. Then pleasend dream
