1
00:00:01,760 --> 00:00:16,000
Speaker 1: Mystery.

2
00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:23,399
Speaker 2: Come in welcome.

3
00:00:24,359 --> 00:00:24,800
Speaker 1: I'm E. G.

4
00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:29,440
Speaker 2: Marshall. I have an unusual story for you about two

5
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:34,520
young people kept in seclusion from the world. Their minds stunted.

6
00:00:34,719 --> 00:00:40,679
They're thinking what their fantasies soaring into the supernatural. What

7
00:00:40,799 --> 00:00:44,640
is real and what is unreal seemed to be melting

8
00:00:44,679 --> 00:00:47,399
into each other in a weird and frightening dream.

9
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:49,719
Speaker 3: When Mary began.

10
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:53,719
Speaker 2: To ask questions, Frieda Kurtz, the housekeeper, told her.

11
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:57,119
Speaker 4: It's to test you, to tease you. And they did

12
00:00:57,119 --> 00:00:59,280
that to Carol when she first came. She got to

13
00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:03,560
love them. We were all sad when she left on

14
00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:09,560
a Friday, unlucky Friday. How did you know? I've heard

15
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:14,000
all the gossips. I've heard about Garris too. They told

16
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,840
you about him. Why are you trembling theaeda you have

17
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:22,400
seen him? No, he used to work here, I understand.

18
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:26,079
But you asked me if i'd seen him. I thought

19
00:01:26,079 --> 00:01:28,200
you and I were the only employees in this house.

20
00:01:28,239 --> 00:01:30,840
Why did I I don't know what I meant by that.

21
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,879
I I must go, I must take care of the children.

22
00:01:36,200 --> 00:01:37,719
Don't ask me any more.

23
00:01:47,799 --> 00:01:51,840
Speaker 2: Our mystery drama Circle of Evil was written especially for

24
00:01:51,959 --> 00:01:56,599
mystery theater by Sidney Sloan and stars Marion Seldy's and

25
00:01:56,799 --> 00:02:13,639
Christopher Tabori. When the rickety old taxi had deposited her

26
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:17,439
in front of Greystone Manor that dark, cold, rainy day

27
00:02:17,479 --> 00:02:21,680
in late autumn, Mary Richards almost changed her mind and

28
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:24,240
called a taxi back to return her to the station.

29
00:02:25,039 --> 00:02:27,479
There was something ominous about the big.

30
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:28,639
Speaker 3: Ugly Victorian house.

31
00:02:29,680 --> 00:02:32,639
Speaker 2: It was too much like the illustrations she remembered from

32
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:36,400
the gruesome fairy tales of her childhood. When she had

33
00:02:36,439 --> 00:02:39,719
dragged her heavy suitcases to the top of the stone steps,

34
00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:43,719
she stopped. She was suddenly gripped by a nameless fear,

35
00:02:44,599 --> 00:02:46,759
the crippling fear of the unknown.

36
00:02:48,039 --> 00:02:49,240
Speaker 1: However, after a.

37
00:02:49,199 --> 00:02:52,479
Speaker 2: Moment, she made her way to the large oak door

38
00:02:52,599 --> 00:02:53,599
and rang the bell.

39
00:03:00,039 --> 00:03:04,919
Speaker 4: Yes, I'm Marry Richard. Oh yes, yes, of course you

40
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,280
must be the new governess. I'm Frieda Frieda Kurtz. I'm

41
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:10,800
the housekeeper. Oh come in, come in out of the ring.

42
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:16,439
Let me take your case so I can manage follow me.

43
00:03:16,759 --> 00:03:20,360
Your room is back here down this hall. See, the

44
00:03:20,439 --> 00:03:23,400
children's quarters were on the second floor. All the help

45
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:27,039
have their quarters down here. Oh are there many servants? Oh,

46
00:03:27,479 --> 00:03:30,360
It's funny the way I said that help. You and

47
00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,240
I are the only help in this old house. Really,

48
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:36,520
for the house is so large, we only use the

49
00:03:36,599 --> 00:03:40,080
small part of it. The rest is closed off. You

50
00:03:40,159 --> 00:03:43,439
used to be a big family living here, big ten

51
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:47,800
people all the time, sometimes as many as fifteen and sixteen.

52
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:52,719
Oh they're all away. They're all dead, at least most

53
00:03:52,719 --> 00:03:57,000
of them. What all the grown ups except mister Dykeman,

54
00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:01,879
William Dykman. Then they're the two children, Andrea and Alex.

55
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,080
You're to take care of them. Oh, yes, mister Dakman

56
00:04:05,159 --> 00:04:07,280
interviewed me at the agency in New York for the job.

57
00:04:07,599 --> 00:04:12,080
He's Andrea and Alex's guardian, he's their uncle. Didn't he

58
00:04:12,199 --> 00:04:16,000
say anything about this place, what you were to do? No,

59
00:04:16,800 --> 00:04:19,399
just that I was to look after the children, supervise

60
00:04:19,439 --> 00:04:22,560
their education until they would be ready for something more formal,

61
00:04:23,199 --> 00:04:25,160
until they'd be old enough to go away to school.

62
00:04:25,759 --> 00:04:29,720
Old enough. How old did he say they were, Andrea

63
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,879
and Alex? He didn't say. I gather they must be

64
00:04:32,959 --> 00:04:37,079
quite young. Five six, Oh, dear, you're in for a

65
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:42,600
surprise surprise. Andrea's eighteen, Alex is twenty.

66
00:04:48,519 --> 00:04:52,319
Speaker 3: So you, then, nanny, are you. I wonder if you're

67
00:04:52,319 --> 00:04:53,079
gonna like it here.

68
00:04:53,199 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 4: Oh, I say, shut up, Alex.

69
00:04:55,839 --> 00:04:57,399
Speaker 5: You mustn't mind him, Miss Richards.

70
00:04:57,399 --> 00:04:58,879
Speaker 4: He's always like this. At first.

71
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,480
Speaker 6: I like to play things, don't you, Mammy? Hide and

72
00:05:02,560 --> 00:05:06,000
seek that's my favorite. This house does so many good

73
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,959
places to hide. He'd never be found till it was

74
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:10,480
too late.

75
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:14,759
Speaker 4: I'lex stop it, stop it, please, I'll stop. I'll stop

76
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:15,360
it for good.

77
00:05:16,079 --> 00:05:19,920
Speaker 6: I don't make you happy, by Andrea.

78
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:26,399
Speaker 5: Bye, Mammy, Please forgive him. He's not always rude, Miss Richards.

79
00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:29,959
You'll get to like him in time. In time, well,

80
00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:34,480
Carol Wicker did. At first she hated Wicker. Well, she

81
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:36,120
was the governess before you.

82
00:05:36,519 --> 00:05:37,040
Speaker 4: She left.

83
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,480
Speaker 5: You might say that, Miss Richards.

84
00:05:41,399 --> 00:05:45,959
Speaker 4: Look, may I call you Mary? Sounds so formal to

85
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:49,360
call you miss Richard? Of course, now it this Miss Wicker.

86
00:05:49,519 --> 00:05:50,639
How long did she stay?

87
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:56,519
Speaker 5: Oh? Nearly two years one year in eleven months. She

88
00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:02,240
left on a Friday. I always feel Fridays are unlucky,

89
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:03,000
don't you Mary?

90
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 4: Oh? Not necessarily Carol hated her.

91
00:06:08,079 --> 00:06:11,759
Speaker 5: She would weep in her room on Friday's what oh

92
00:06:11,879 --> 00:06:16,240
not for the first few months, but later she would

93
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:17,920
weep in her room.

94
00:06:18,759 --> 00:06:22,199
Speaker 4: She was in love and even Andrea. I wonder if

95
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:24,639
you would mind her changing the subject.

96
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:28,319
Speaker 5: Oh, oh, of course, Mary, I I didn't know. I

97
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:32,800
didn't think it, didn't think what but you had met him.

98
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:35,680
Speaker 4: I don't know what you're talking about.

99
00:06:36,319 --> 00:06:42,040
Speaker 5: Gareth Gareth Norway. He's very handsome and she was.

100
00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,759
Speaker 4: Very much in love with him. He has away with

101
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:49,319
the lady Andrea. I do not wish to continue this. I. Oh,

102
00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,720
so you've met him too. No, I haven't met him,

103
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:55,959
and I don't wish to discuss this further. You'll meet him, Mary,

104
00:06:57,959 --> 00:07:08,759
you'll meet him. Yes, we're having supper up in the playroom.

105
00:07:09,240 --> 00:07:11,040
Wouldn't you like to come up and to eat with

106
00:07:11,079 --> 00:07:15,839
the children? Come in, missus Kurtz, I want to talk

107
00:07:15,879 --> 00:07:18,319
to you. Oh, you have an unpacked yet you want

108
00:07:18,319 --> 00:07:21,319
me to help you? And No. As a matter of fact,

109
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:25,560
I've decided that this job isn't exactly what i'd contracted for.

110
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,279
You're leaving. Yes, I'm afraid this is more than I

111
00:07:29,319 --> 00:07:31,839
can handle. Mister Dykeman gave me to understand that i'd

112
00:07:31,839 --> 00:07:37,000
be working with children. Know they are two young people

113
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,959
who need attention, who seem to need psychiatric help. And

114
00:07:41,079 --> 00:07:44,040
I am not qualified for the job I've placed to

115
00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:47,079
call to mister Dykman in New York years. Yes, I know,

116
00:07:47,879 --> 00:07:51,399
it's that crazy act they're putting on for you. A sure,

117
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:54,720
it's to test you, to please you. It's only a joke.

118
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,959
They did that to Carol when she first came. She

119
00:07:58,079 --> 00:08:01,480
got to love them. We were all sad when she

120
00:08:01,680 --> 00:08:07,360
left on a Friday, unlucky Friday. But yes, how did

121
00:08:07,399 --> 00:08:10,399
you know? I've had all the gossips I've heard about

122
00:08:10,639 --> 00:08:14,560
Gareth too. I told you about him. Yes, why are

123
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:19,759
you trembling? Have you seen him? No? Does he work here?

124
00:08:20,399 --> 00:08:24,560
He used to, He was the chauffeur used to work here.

125
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,079
But you asked me if i'd seen him. Oh, I

126
00:08:28,199 --> 00:08:31,040
don't know what I meant by that. I must go

127
00:08:31,079 --> 00:08:41,279
and have my supper. Now they're weak. Wait, no, mister Diakman.

128
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:47,320
Please Mary Richard's calling. But when will he be back? Well,

129
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:51,200
how can he be reached? I'm the governess. I mean

130
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:53,360
he hired me recently to take care of his niece

131
00:08:53,399 --> 00:08:57,080
and his nephew. And no, no, no, it's nothing to

132
00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:02,440
do with a salary. That's quite satisfactory. Just ada, When

133
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,320
may I expect to hear from him. Well, if he

134
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,519
doesn't call, I shall leave grace o manner on the

135
00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:17,279
thirty first. That's two weeks and three days. Who's there,

136
00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:24,159
is Alex Burrow? Yes, Alex, may I come in? Come in?

137
00:09:26,799 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 6: You've locked yourself away from us room. We haven't seen

138
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:34,080
you for the last two days. Yes, haven't you been well?

139
00:09:34,519 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 4: Nothing wrong with my health?

140
00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 1: Well?

141
00:09:37,960 --> 00:09:41,080
Speaker 6: I hate to bring this up, aren't you our governess.

142
00:09:41,519 --> 00:09:45,639
Shouldn't you be teaching us something, something useful?

143
00:09:46,559 --> 00:09:48,360
Speaker 3: That's what you've been paid for, Alex.

144
00:09:48,440 --> 00:09:50,159
Speaker 4: If we're going to speak to each other at all,

145
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,919
you'll have to drop this snide manner.

146
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 3: Snide whatever do you mean?

147
00:09:55,799 --> 00:09:58,399
Speaker 4: You're not a child, neither is your sister, So stop

148
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,919
this childish teasing. I shall only be here till the

149
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:02,519
end of the month.

150
00:10:03,919 --> 00:10:06,360
Speaker 3: You're you're leaving us.

151
00:10:06,440 --> 00:10:09,000
Speaker 4: I accepted this job as a governess to take care

152
00:10:09,039 --> 00:10:12,440
of and teach young children. That's what I'm qualified to do.

153
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:17,320
I'm not qualified say it. Go on there, I say it.

154
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:22,159
Speaker 3: You think I'm mad, don't you you? Si Gandre is too,

155
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:22,679
don't you.

156
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 4: I think my uncle goes too.

157
00:10:25,759 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 6: That's why he keeps us here away from the world,

158
00:10:28,759 --> 00:10:33,279
why he hires governesses for us to take care of us.

159
00:10:33,279 --> 00:10:36,799
Why does he because he can't let the story come

160
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:41,279
out to unsettling impossible scandals.

161
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:43,000
Speaker 3: He's ashamed of us.

162
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:44,039
Speaker 4: I don't understand.

163
00:10:44,399 --> 00:10:46,360
Speaker 3: Perhaps it's better that you don't tell it.

164
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:48,879
Speaker 4: Alli. Where are you?

165
00:10:50,159 --> 00:10:50,759
Speaker 1: That's freedom?

166
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:52,320
Speaker 3: She's looking for me.

167
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:55,600
Speaker 4: We'll open the door and tell her where you are. No, No, well,

168
00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:58,679
I will then, missus. Kurtsey's here and here with me.

169
00:10:58,879 --> 00:11:02,279
Oh there you are, you naughty boy hiding from Freida.

170
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,600
Now come, we're having tea upstairs in the nursery, and

171
00:11:05,639 --> 00:11:09,159
I baked your favorite apple coolkin. Nor.

172
00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:11,639
Speaker 6: I don't want to me. I want us to talk

173
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:13,919
with Mary. I've got things to explain to her.

174
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:17,759
Speaker 4: No, you come, I won't trump. Don't force him if

175
00:11:17,759 --> 00:11:20,360
he doesn't want you, stay out of this. Miss When

176
00:11:20,399 --> 00:11:22,480
I tell him to do something, he must do it.

177
00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,559
But I mean, you are nothing here. I know all

178
00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,879
about your calling mister Dykman wanting to quit your job here.

179
00:11:28,919 --> 00:11:30,960
I know I told you I was going to call.

180
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,080
I wasn't concealing him. But he didn't speak with you,

181
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:37,039
did he? Mister Dykman called me, told me what to do.

182
00:11:37,399 --> 00:11:39,720
But why didn't he answer my call to him? Because

183
00:11:39,759 --> 00:11:43,120
he wanted to talk to you in person. He's coming

184
00:11:43,159 --> 00:11:55,000
here to talk, and you will stay here until he comes.

185
00:11:56,039 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 5: The house doesn't look so gloomy when the sun is shining.

186
00:11:58,759 --> 00:12:02,320
Speaker 4: Does Andrea? I thought I was alone out here.

187
00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:05,679
Speaker 5: You're very unhappy here, aren't you?

188
00:12:06,360 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 4: Oh? Uncomfortable? It's closer to it, just that everything is

189
00:12:11,399 --> 00:12:18,000
so strange, so uncertain, like living in a dream. Yes, yes,

190
00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:21,679
like a dream, but not a very pleasant one. You'll

191
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:27,200
be going soon ten days. I'm sorry you can't help

192
00:12:27,279 --> 00:12:31,440
us help you. Alex knows that too. We want you

193
00:12:31,519 --> 00:12:34,320
to stay. That's very flattering, Andrea, but I can't possibly

194
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:37,320
help you. I don't even know what kind of help

195
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:39,799
you mean. We can tell you, show you.

196
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:43,480
Speaker 5: We need your strength. Please say you'll stay.

197
00:12:44,159 --> 00:12:46,879
Speaker 4: I'm only staying till the end of the month.

198
00:12:48,159 --> 00:12:53,440
Speaker 5: End of the month, well then that'll have to do.

199
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:58,879
That'll be long enough. Tonight we will show you what

200
00:12:58,919 --> 00:12:59,360
we mean.

201
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:10,960
Speaker 4: Hello, Yes, did I wake you?

202
00:13:11,039 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 7: Mary?

203
00:13:11,799 --> 00:13:14,440
Speaker 4: No? I was reading. I wasn't asleep. Please come to

204
00:13:14,519 --> 00:13:17,200
the barge drawing room on the third floor as soon

205
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:20,240
as you can. What is it? I can't tell you

206
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:23,600
over the house phone. Please very well. It'll take me

207
00:13:23,600 --> 00:13:24,559
a few minutes to dress.

208
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:26,639
Speaker 5: Just put on your roll.

209
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 4: Come now, please, I'll come right up, Andrea, Andrea, this

210
00:13:44,279 --> 00:13:50,080
is the room, Andrea, Perhaps she meant the room at

211
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:56,000
the end of the hall. O, Mary met this one?

212
00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:01,639
Who are you am? I can't see you in the dark.

213
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:05,679
Don't be frightened, Mary, You know me.

214
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:08,159
Speaker 1: They are too about you.

215
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:13,519
Speaker 5: You're beautiful, Marry Mary.

216
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:18,200
Speaker 4: Where are you here? Andrea? I was just said, you're

217
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:22,080
gone to the royal place. No. Aren't there any lights

218
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:22,679
in this room?

219
00:14:22,799 --> 00:14:25,799
Speaker 5: Or there used to be, But the mice nibbled the wires,

220
00:14:25,799 --> 00:14:27,120
Alex says, and they don't work.

221
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:31,799
Speaker 4: I have a flashlight. Light hit there. That's very strange.

222
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:36,360
What a moment ago? I spoke to a man in

223
00:14:36,399 --> 00:14:40,519
the dark, A man whose name you mentioned to me, Gareth,

224
00:14:41,799 --> 00:14:46,559
Gareth Norway. He was here? Where is he left? Very

225
00:14:46,639 --> 00:14:49,600
suddenly you told me about him a chauffeur. Wasn't him

226
00:14:49,799 --> 00:14:52,799
many years ago? Wait a minute? Wait a minute? Flash

227
00:14:52,799 --> 00:14:58,600
of light here on the floor. There no footprints? No,

228
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,360
but DUTs is heavy on the floor, and your footprints

229
00:15:01,399 --> 00:15:08,159
are plainly marked as our mind. But none for Garrett. None.

230
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,600
Speaker 5: The dead do not leave food, Prince Mary.

231
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:17,440
Speaker 4: I want an answer I must have an answer. Just

232
00:15:17,600 --> 00:15:20,399
accept what you see what You're here dead.

233
00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:24,679
Speaker 3: He's been dead for nearly fifteen years, dead and.

234
00:15:24,639 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 5: Yet not dead.

235
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:27,480
Speaker 4: But what sort of nonsense is this?

236
00:15:27,759 --> 00:15:28,919
Speaker 3: Is not nonsense?

237
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:31,200
Speaker 4: You spoke with him. What are you trying to do

238
00:15:31,279 --> 00:15:34,279
to me? I don't believe in spirits and ghosts and

239
00:15:34,360 --> 00:15:37,200
the supernatural. It was some sort of trick, wasn't it?

240
00:15:37,639 --> 00:15:38,440
Tell me the truth?

241
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 5: Believe this Garrett is here, possibly right in this room.

242
00:15:44,360 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 4: No, I don't believe you. It's all in your mind.

243
00:15:46,799 --> 00:15:49,399
It's some morbid story that somebody told you when you

244
00:15:49,440 --> 00:15:53,039
were children. If this house frightens you and depresses you,

245
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:54,799
why don't you run away from it? You don't have

246
00:15:54,879 --> 00:15:56,759
to say, but we do what.

247
00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:58,159
Speaker 3: We cannot leave.

248
00:15:58,759 --> 00:16:02,519
Speaker 6: He won't let us leave. He holds us, He keeps

249
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,279
us here. This part of is revenge.

250
00:16:05,879 --> 00:16:10,320
Speaker 4: Revenge. Do you expect me to believe venge for his murder?

251
00:16:11,399 --> 00:16:15,120
Speaker 5: He said he was murdered, and he will not stop

252
00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:19,759
until all of us, all of our blood, are dead.

253
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:28,720
Speaker 2: Already Mary Richards had fallen under.

254
00:16:28,559 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 1: The spell of the old House.

255
00:16:30,519 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 3: She was beginning to believe the unbelievable.

256
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 4: Had she really.

257
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:39,759
Speaker 2: Spoken to the spirit of Gareth Nordway, Or was this

258
00:16:40,159 --> 00:16:43,600
just a frightening thought conjured up by the strange young

259
00:16:43,679 --> 00:16:48,519
people who inhabit Greystone matters. Perhaps we will find some

260
00:16:48,559 --> 00:17:04,599
of the answers and act too. Mary Richards searched for

261
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:08,839
an explanation of the events which it occurred, but which she,

262
00:17:09,079 --> 00:17:14,119
with her logical mind, could not accept. She waited impatiently

263
00:17:14,279 --> 00:17:17,720
for the arrival of William Dykman, hoping that he could

264
00:17:17,759 --> 00:17:21,880
answer the questions to which she could find no answers.

265
00:17:22,519 --> 00:17:25,000
His first words were very reassuring.

266
00:17:25,599 --> 00:17:28,119
Speaker 7: I've come out here for one reason, Miss Richards, and

267
00:17:28,759 --> 00:17:31,759
one reason only, and that is to put these stupid

268
00:17:31,799 --> 00:17:33,920
superstitions to rest once and for all.

269
00:17:34,079 --> 00:17:35,400
Speaker 4: You don't believe them, mister.

270
00:17:35,279 --> 00:17:40,359
Speaker 7: Dyachar, product of idle minds. Child is nonsense.

271
00:17:40,440 --> 00:17:43,799
Speaker 4: But I have seen him, seen Gareth Nordway.

272
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:47,759
Speaker 7: You have been made to believe that you have seen him,

273
00:17:48,279 --> 00:17:50,599
Miss Riches. It must have occurred to you that Andrey

274
00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:56,559
and Alex are well, how shall I say, not quite normal?

275
00:17:56,759 --> 00:17:59,680
Speaker 4: Well, their behavior is somewhat bizarre.

276
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:03,400
Speaker 7: Strange cranks, childish pranks, nothing serious.

277
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:04,559
Speaker 1: However, wouldn't you say.

278
00:18:04,599 --> 00:18:07,519
Speaker 4: That I'm not competent to judge. I'd say that it

279
00:18:07,599 --> 00:18:11,640
was more than childish prank. Frieda told me that almost

280
00:18:11,759 --> 00:18:14,960
the entire family died in a rather the serious fashion,

281
00:18:15,519 --> 00:18:19,240
almost all. At the same time, she seemed to hint

282
00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,440
there was something supernatural behind it all.

283
00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:25,799
Speaker 7: All that, well, one can hardly call a serious epidemic

284
00:18:25,839 --> 00:18:32,680
of food supernatural. We lost eight, no nine members of

285
00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:38,200
our family. It was a terrible tragedy altogether in this house.

286
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:41,400
We must have passed the virus to each other. Terrible

287
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:46,839
thing happened to a family. Alex and Andrea were little

288
00:18:46,839 --> 00:18:51,119
more than infants at the time. It very definitely affected them.

289
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:56,640
I see by your tone, I I can see you

290
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:57,319
don't believe me.

291
00:18:58,079 --> 00:19:01,119
Speaker 4: If the two children were affected by this tragedy, if

292
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:05,519
indeed it twisted their minds, why wasn't something more constructive

293
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:06,440
done for them?

294
00:19:07,200 --> 00:19:07,880
Speaker 7: I'm ass Richard.

295
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:11,119
Speaker 4: Why weren't they given a psychiatric help? Why were they

296
00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:14,119
kept here virtually prisoners instead of being taken to a

297
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:15,160
more healthful place.

298
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:20,240
Speaker 7: I I find it difficult to answer that.

299
00:19:20,359 --> 00:19:24,279
Speaker 4: Why because you are responsible for keeping them here in

300
00:19:24,319 --> 00:19:26,559
a way, yes, but what do you have to gain

301
00:19:26,599 --> 00:19:27,200
from all of them?

302
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:30,640
Speaker 7: Really? As rich as I cannot tolerate this interrogation from.

303
00:19:30,599 --> 00:19:33,720
Speaker 4: Us high observant. Don't let that disturb you, mister Dykeman.

304
00:19:33,799 --> 00:19:36,400
I'm quitting this job as of the thirty first. There

305
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:39,880
is nothing that could induce me to stay on any longer.

306
00:19:40,559 --> 00:19:43,519
Good day. Wait, I have nothing more to say to

307
00:19:43,559 --> 00:19:44,440
you with mister Dykeman.

308
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:49,519
Speaker 7: But you do intend to speak to to others?

309
00:19:49,839 --> 00:19:56,119
Speaker 4: Yes, there's something hidden here that's festering, like an infected wound,

310
00:19:56,480 --> 00:19:58,200
something that needs the light of day.

311
00:19:58,319 --> 00:19:59,799
Speaker 7: If you mean that you intend to go to the

312
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:01,720
police or for some sort of.

313
00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:03,640
Speaker 4: Inviss you, should we do something of that sort.

314
00:20:03,720 --> 00:20:04,759
Speaker 3: Well, then let me warn you.

315
00:20:04,759 --> 00:20:06,519
Speaker 7: You can be stopped very effectively.

316
00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:07,519
Speaker 4: Are you threatening me?

317
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 1: Threatening?

318
00:20:11,200 --> 00:20:14,039
Speaker 7: I wouldn't think of it, but I must, in your

319
00:20:14,039 --> 00:20:18,480
own interests, prevent you from causing yourself fundship, Yes, and

320
00:20:18,519 --> 00:20:19,480
perhaps even.

321
00:20:21,279 --> 00:20:28,440
Speaker 1: Injury.

322
00:20:29,200 --> 00:20:31,200
Speaker 5: It's Andrea, May I come in.

323
00:20:34,599 --> 00:20:36,759
Speaker 4: I don't want to bother you. Come in, Come in.

324
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:42,079
I was just reading there's something troubling you. You look upsetts.

325
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:45,880
Speaker 5: I am My uncle called earlier and spoke to Freeda.

326
00:20:47,079 --> 00:20:51,319
Speaker 4: He hired another governor. That was to be expected since

327
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:52,920
I am leaving at the end of the month.

328
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 5: No, you are leaving Friday. You haven't been told yet.

329
00:20:58,039 --> 00:21:02,079
Speaker 4: That's the day. She is a think if only Alex

330
00:21:02,119 --> 00:21:03,920
and I could go with you? Oh, why can't you?

331
00:21:04,599 --> 00:21:10,480
You know why? No? I don't, Andrea, who does all

332
00:21:10,559 --> 00:21:12,839
this belong to? You?

333
00:21:12,920 --> 00:21:13,079
Speaker 2: Mean?

334
00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:15,440
Speaker 4: This house, all the house, the grounds, the money, the

335
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:20,160
entire estate to Alex and me and your uncle.

336
00:21:20,519 --> 00:21:21,720
Speaker 5: He's our guardian.

337
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:25,559
Speaker 4: Oh, he manages the estate until we're of age twenty one.

338
00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:29,119
Speaker 5: Specifically, Alex will be twenty one and seven months and

339
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:32,400
I've got nearly two and a half years to go.

340
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:36,039
Speaker 4: And when that time comes, when you and Alex finally

341
00:21:36,079 --> 00:21:38,680
come into your money, I'm going to find himself in

342
00:21:38,759 --> 00:21:40,680
somewhat reduced circumstances.

343
00:21:41,279 --> 00:21:43,000
Speaker 5: But it never worth his money.

344
00:21:43,079 --> 00:21:56,480
Speaker 4: He controlled it, he used it for us. I wonder, Mary, very.

345
00:21:56,519 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 8: Listen to me.

346
00:21:58,599 --> 00:22:00,039
Speaker 5: I must speak to you.

347
00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:04,279
Speaker 3: Marry Mary, listen to me.

348
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:06,039
Speaker 6: Who is it?

349
00:22:06,319 --> 00:22:07,640

00:22:08,759 --> 00:22:12,880
Speaker 1: I said, don't scream, you alarm your I will.

351
00:22:12,799 --> 00:22:15,240
Speaker 3: Let you speak of your prompts not to scream again.

352
00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:18,400
Speaker 9: Promise good.

353
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:20,799
Speaker 5: Who are you?

354
00:22:21,200 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 3: We have met before, spoken before?

355
00:22:26,599 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 4: I remember Garres, Garres Nordway.

356
00:22:30,599 --> 00:22:34,319
Speaker 3: I have seen you so many times and you didn't.

357
00:22:34,160 --> 00:22:35,039
Speaker 1: Know I was there.

358
00:22:36,599 --> 00:22:37,680
Speaker 4: What do you want?

359
00:22:38,599 --> 00:22:42,160
Speaker 9: I'm going to tell you something and I want your help.

360
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:47,359
Speaker 4: So how can I help you right a wrong?

361
00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 9: A wrong done me many years ago?

362
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:57,279
Speaker 4: H this is our dream.

363
00:22:57,319 --> 00:23:03,880
Speaker 9: I was a servant, deer shuman, lonely, no family all

364
00:23:05,359 --> 00:23:10,119
Cynthia Sainte, beautiful.

365
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:13,799
Speaker 10: Member of the riches, snobbish Damon clan.

366
00:23:15,079 --> 00:23:18,279
Speaker 9: That she didn't see me as the dirty stable boy.

367
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:21,640
Speaker 10: That's what Uncle William called me when he found that

368
00:23:21,759 --> 00:23:22,440
she loved me.

369
00:23:23,839 --> 00:23:29,799
Speaker 9: And I loved her. Well, we ran away and we were.

370
00:23:29,680 --> 00:23:31,680
Speaker 3: Married for one acstatic month.

371
00:23:31,799 --> 00:23:36,519
Speaker 9: We hid while they searched for us, and they found us,

372
00:23:37,079 --> 00:23:41,680
since there was dragged back here and no one was planned.

373
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:44,519
Speaker 3: Then I came back.

374
00:23:45,440 --> 00:23:48,720
Speaker 9: Broke in one night to find my bride.

375
00:23:48,319 --> 00:23:49,279
Speaker 7: And take her away.

376
00:23:51,079 --> 00:23:52,799
Speaker 9: It was then Uncle.

377
00:23:52,559 --> 00:23:57,160
Speaker 3: William stobbed us, shut me down like a strained dog.

378
00:23:59,079 --> 00:24:03,680
Speaker 10: The last memory I have a life et from my

379
00:24:04,039 --> 00:24:08,519
body and my blood red, the white dress of my

380
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:12,559
beloved was, Sir screen.

381
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:16,279
Speaker 9: Percy hopeless.

382
00:24:17,319 --> 00:24:19,319
Speaker 4: Yep you aren't.

383
00:24:19,559 --> 00:24:29,119
Speaker 9: Yes, I am dead and yet not dead. Only what

384
00:24:29,319 --> 00:24:36,079
you will? My white heart hatred sustains me, the only

385
00:24:36,119 --> 00:24:37,119
one mission found.

386
00:24:38,039 --> 00:24:43,440
Speaker 4: Oh will you are who said if you expected I

387
00:24:43,519 --> 00:24:44,519
would help you?

388
00:24:44,519 --> 00:24:51,359
Speaker 9: You already forgotten that William fars you in a radio search.

389
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:53,839
Speaker 3: Until you brought that truth out.

390
00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:56,599
Speaker 4: I suspected that something was being concealed.

391
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,920
Speaker 3: You are searching out now, you not?

392
00:25:02,079 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 4: You will No, No, this is a dream. It's a dream.

393
00:25:10,079 --> 00:25:11,000
It's not happening.

394
00:25:12,240 --> 00:25:13,039
Speaker 1: I must sleep.

395
00:25:13,279 --> 00:25:25,559
Speaker 8: It's only a dream.

396
00:25:25,599 --> 00:25:26,839
Speaker 3: Going sickly and get married.

397
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:31,680
Speaker 4: Oh Ohlex, what are you doing in the garage? I

398
00:25:31,720 --> 00:25:34,160
hope you don't mind if I use your bike.

399
00:25:34,359 --> 00:25:37,039
Speaker 6: None at all, since it's not mine. I've got another bike.

400
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:38,200
Why if I come along?

401
00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:41,599
Speaker 4: Well, I wasn't exactly going just for a ride.

402
00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:42,559
Speaker 3: Going into the village.

403
00:25:42,559 --> 00:25:46,799
Speaker 4: Then, Alex, I had a strange dream last night.

404
00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:48,400
Speaker 3: It was Gareth, wasn't it.

405
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:49,759
Speaker 4: However, did you know?

406
00:25:50,279 --> 00:25:54,039
Speaker 3: It's his way? He's working on you. He told you

407
00:25:54,039 --> 00:25:54,839
a story, didn't he.

408
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:58,279
Speaker 6: Yes, tragic and are most wept for him. It's won

409
00:25:58,319 --> 00:26:02,160
you over, marry the way he carolover. He wants your help.

410
00:26:02,599 --> 00:26:06,079
He'll try to use you. Listen to me, Mary, Gareth

411
00:26:06,200 --> 00:26:08,440
can be very persuasive when he wants to be.

412
00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:11,559
Speaker 3: He can make you believe the most ridiculous thing.

413
00:26:11,599 --> 00:26:13,240
Speaker 4: I don't want to hear any more about Gareth.

414
00:26:14,079 --> 00:26:17,319
Speaker 6: Let me tell you the true story, or at least

415
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:19,400
the official version of the tragedy.

416
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:20,160
Speaker 4: I don't want to hear it.

417
00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:26,000
Speaker 6: You better listen. Cynthia was attracted to Gareth Norway. Everyone

418
00:26:26,079 --> 00:26:30,319
knows that she flirted with him. Some say whatever it was,

419
00:26:30,839 --> 00:26:35,279
it wasn't love on on her part. Gareth kept after her,

420
00:26:35,319 --> 00:26:36,319
and finally.

421
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:37,839
Speaker 4: They ran away together. They married.

422
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:41,440
Speaker 3: All He tried to get her to go away with him.

423
00:26:41,960 --> 00:26:42,759
She refused.

424
00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:48,839
Speaker 6: He got angry, wild, he kidnapped her. Uncle William chased them,

425
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:49,720
found them.

426
00:26:49,759 --> 00:26:50,880
Speaker 3: Gareth threw his knife.

427
00:26:51,759 --> 00:26:56,200
Speaker 6: Uncle William shot him. How it was, That's the way

428
00:26:56,240 --> 00:26:59,759
the police got the story. It was called self defense.

429
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:05,160
Chase was dismissed and Cynthia he killed her. Whereas the

430
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:08,759
story goes, the first shot wounded him, but he was

431
00:27:08,839 --> 00:27:10,680
able to stab her with his knife.

432
00:27:11,119 --> 00:27:12,839
Speaker 3: Uncle William fired at him again.

433
00:27:13,599 --> 00:27:16,640
Speaker 4: Believed him. I believed Gareth.

434
00:27:16,960 --> 00:27:18,759
Speaker 3: Carol Ricker believed him.

435
00:27:18,799 --> 00:27:22,599
Speaker 4: And committed suicide. No, but I heard. She did not

436
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:26,759
chill herself. She was murdered.

437
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:34,400
Speaker 2: Deeper and deeper, Mary Richard's plunges into the morash of

438
00:27:34,519 --> 00:27:39,279
claims and counterclaims. The circle of evil that surrounds the

439
00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:43,279
Old Gray House is being drawn tighter and tighter around

440
00:27:43,319 --> 00:27:47,519
the lives of all who dwell there as though fighting

441
00:27:47,599 --> 00:27:51,119
up to the surface of a stagnant pool that threatens

442
00:27:51,160 --> 00:27:54,839
to suffocate her with its vile and rotting weeds. Mary

443
00:27:54,960 --> 00:27:58,559
reaches out for help. I'll be back in a moment,

444
00:27:58,880 --> 00:28:16,000
with Act three. Mary Richard's sleep that night was filled

445
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:20,920
with frightening dreams, dreams of frustration in which she could

446
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:25,079
not fight or defend herself from unknown and unnamed forces.

447
00:28:26,039 --> 00:28:29,599
She found herself slipping into a deep abyss, the sides

448
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:34,559
of which afforded not the slightest foothold. Her fingers, clutching

449
00:28:34,599 --> 00:28:39,759
at the slimy walls, could grasp nothing. The next morning,

450
00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:43,200
clear and sunny, brought with it the resolution to take

451
00:28:43,359 --> 00:28:47,839
positive action, to reach out to the sane world outside

452
00:28:48,119 --> 00:28:48,559
for help.

453
00:28:50,319 --> 00:28:56,079
Speaker 4: Hello, County Colonel's Office, Miss Alaskam, my name is Mary Richard.

454
00:28:56,680 --> 00:29:01,559
I'm inquiring about the late Carol Wicker. Oh, no, I'm

455
00:29:01,559 --> 00:29:05,039
not a relative. Let's say that I'm a friend, was

456
00:29:05,079 --> 00:29:08,759
a friend. Yes, Now I've read your report on her death.

457
00:29:08,839 --> 00:29:12,400
I got the transcript from the Bureau of Records. Well,

458
00:29:13,160 --> 00:29:16,400
I'm just a bit confused. Your original opinion was that

459
00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:18,839
she might have been struck with a club or some

460
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:23,000
other blunt instrument, But your final opinion was that her

461
00:29:23,039 --> 00:29:26,720
death was caused by an overdose of sleeping pills. Well,

462
00:29:26,759 --> 00:29:31,519
I was just wondering why you changed your mind. New evidence,

463
00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:37,480
what new evidence? That she had been upset, melancholy, despondent?

464
00:29:38,160 --> 00:29:43,000
But who gave you that evidence? Oh? I see? Well,

465
00:29:43,039 --> 00:29:46,039
the reason for this call is to ask how does

466
00:29:46,079 --> 00:29:49,880
one go about getting permission to exhume a body.

467
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:54,759
Speaker 3: I'm not so sure you're doing the right thing, Mary.

468
00:29:55,039 --> 00:29:57,880
Speaker 4: After all, Carol wasn't a bad day of mind.

469
00:29:58,079 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 5: I'm happy the prayers.

470
00:29:59,440 --> 00:30:03,200
Speaker 4: And she knew something, something which might prove embarrassing. It

471
00:30:03,279 --> 00:30:05,880
was your uncle William who supplied the information that changed

472
00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:10,319
the coliner's opinions. Don't you find that interesting? I do.

473
00:30:10,720 --> 00:30:12,720
Speaker 3: You're jumping to conclusions, malam.

474
00:30:12,480 --> 00:30:15,240
Speaker 4: I all you know has been told to you, and

475
00:30:15,279 --> 00:30:16,720
you believe what you've been told.

476
00:30:16,839 --> 00:30:19,200
Speaker 5: Mary, We don't know what we believe anymore.

477
00:30:19,279 --> 00:30:21,839
Speaker 4: Where did you get your version of what happened to Carol? Wicker?

478
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:23,960
Speaker 3: Frida told us?

479
00:30:24,119 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 4: And who does Frieda work for Frieda works for me?

480
00:30:27,559 --> 00:30:28,599
Speaker 7: Miss Richards?

481
00:30:28,599 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 4: Mister d well?

482
00:30:30,079 --> 00:30:33,279
Speaker 7: Well, well, children, now are you going to greet uncle William?

483
00:30:34,359 --> 00:30:34,680
Speaker 8: William?

484
00:30:34,880 --> 00:30:35,960
Speaker 1: Uncle William? That's nice.

485
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:38,920
Speaker 7: Now, would you mind leaving the room. I should like

486
00:30:38,960 --> 00:30:40,319
to speak to Miss Richards in private.

487
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:42,079
Speaker 4: Anything you have to say better be said in the

488
00:30:42,119 --> 00:30:43,119
presence of witnesses.

489
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:46,519
Speaker 7: Witnesses the children, and.

490
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:49,160
Speaker 4: I think you'd better stop referring to them as children.

491
00:30:50,319 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 7: Well, very well, they may stay. Now. May I ask

492
00:30:56,480 --> 00:30:58,759
the purpose of a call to the county coroner.

493
00:30:59,559 --> 00:31:01,599
Speaker 4: I see the news of my call will relate to

494
00:31:01,599 --> 00:31:02,440
you very quickly.

495
00:31:02,720 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 7: You think it's strange that mister Vaskin would call me.

496
00:31:05,039 --> 00:31:07,519
Speaker 4: No, not strange at all. I rather expected that he would.

497
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:12,000
Speaker 7: I I would like to dissuade you from your purpose.

498
00:31:12,079 --> 00:31:13,920
I think nothing will be gained by digging up the

499
00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:15,960
remains of poor Carol Wicker.

500
00:31:16,200 --> 00:31:19,519
Speaker 4: This can't change my mind. I had the exhumation order

501
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:21,839
and I have only ordered the men from the cemetery.

502
00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:24,960
Speaker 7: Oh yes, yes, I know, and I see you're not

503
00:31:25,000 --> 00:31:28,200
going to listen to me. So I'm going to make

504
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:31,160
matters easier for you. I have ordered the men, the

505
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:33,799
grave diggers, to be there tomorrow night at nine good

506
00:31:34,599 --> 00:31:37,759
The remains will be delivered to the coroner for re examination.

507
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:40,240
Speaker 4: I would prefer that the examination be made by a

508
00:31:40,279 --> 00:31:43,480
doctor of my choosing of course, but until you have

509
00:31:43,559 --> 00:31:46,599
engaged a man, the body will be sent to the

510
00:31:46,759 --> 00:31:47,359
County Moor.

511
00:31:48,559 --> 00:31:49,799
Speaker 1: That is a state law.

512
00:31:49,880 --> 00:31:52,079
Speaker 3: I have no control of the Thank you, you've been

513
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:52,759
very helpful.

514
00:31:52,759 --> 00:31:55,920
Speaker 7: I don't mention it, Miss Richards, anything to keep you

515
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,599
and the children entertained?

516
00:32:05,880 --> 00:32:06,839
Speaker 4: Is that you? Alex?

517
00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:08,160
Speaker 3: Yes, Andrea?

518
00:32:08,759 --> 00:32:11,680
Speaker 6: Where have you been upstairs in the old part of

519
00:32:11,720 --> 00:32:14,359
the house looking for him?

520
00:32:14,759 --> 00:32:16,640
Speaker 3: I thought he would want to speak to us.

521
00:32:17,599 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 5: Are you certain that he can that he?

522
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:22,319
Speaker 3: Are you beginning to have doubts?

523
00:32:22,599 --> 00:32:23,279
Speaker 4: I don't know.

524
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:27,119
Speaker 5: Uncle William is going to have us committed.

525
00:32:28,039 --> 00:32:29,480
Speaker 4: I heard him speaking with Freedom.

526
00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:32,359
Speaker 5: They said he'd had enough trouble. He doesn't care if

527
00:32:32,359 --> 00:32:33,640
the entire matter comes out.

528
00:32:33,920 --> 00:32:37,039
Speaker 4: Who's going to be locked up? Jess, though we're insane?

529
00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:40,880
Isn't it possible, Alex that we are? No?

530
00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 6: No, we're just frightened, afraid. Don't tell me that Gareth

531
00:32:46,039 --> 00:32:48,880
is just something I imagined. You've seen him too.

532
00:32:49,160 --> 00:32:52,240
Speaker 3: Spoke with them as I have. Yes, Alex, Carol for him,

533
00:32:52,480 --> 00:32:53,599
spoke with him very too.

534
00:32:53,839 --> 00:32:58,359
Speaker 5: Isn't it possible that we, you and I have conjured

535
00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:02,359
him up? Perhaps he's nowhere, but in our.

536
00:33:02,359 --> 00:33:05,319
Speaker 4: Mind, No, No, I'm not that bad.

537
00:33:05,720 --> 00:33:08,039
Speaker 3: I'll not believe that you can't puck me up.

538
00:33:09,079 --> 00:33:13,799
Speaker 4: What is this still art? Long past your bedtime? Now

539
00:33:13,839 --> 00:33:16,319
go to your room. At once, children, I will punish

540
00:33:16,319 --> 00:33:16,680
you both.

541
00:33:17,279 --> 00:33:17,920
Speaker 3: He's Frida.

542
00:33:18,599 --> 00:33:22,720
Speaker 6: We're going right now, Huntrey Andrea.

543
00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:28,359
Speaker 4: You rang for me, mister Diakman.

544
00:33:28,799 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 7: Oh, yes, missus Scots. I just wanted to tell you

545
00:33:30,920 --> 00:33:33,559
what my plans are as they concern you and your

546
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:37,720
future future. We will be well taken care of. I'm

547
00:33:37,799 --> 00:33:41,359
settling a substantial sum on you, a sort of an annuity.

548
00:33:42,200 --> 00:33:43,319
Speaker 4: You're letting me go.

549
00:33:43,599 --> 00:33:46,640
Speaker 7: Well, let us say that I'm retiring.

550
00:33:48,119 --> 00:33:51,119
Speaker 4: But this is so unexpected, so sad Scots.

551
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:55,480
Speaker 7: As you know, the welfare of the children has been

552
00:33:55,519 --> 00:33:57,519
my prime consideration for many years.

553
00:33:57,559 --> 00:33:59,519
Speaker 4: But I can take care of the mic and watch it.

554
00:34:00,119 --> 00:34:02,839
Speaker 7: I'm not criticizing you, It's just that I have decided

555
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:07,039
we can't do it any longer on this level. They

556
00:34:07,039 --> 00:34:10,199
are grown people now, no longer children. When am I

557
00:34:10,239 --> 00:34:13,119
to leave, Well, there's my car waiting in the driveway.

558
00:34:13,159 --> 00:34:16,360
If you hurry, we we'll be able to have you

559
00:34:16,440 --> 00:34:18,239
catch the eleven twenty train at the station.

560
00:34:19,159 --> 00:34:24,960
Speaker 4: Yes, tonight, soon, Yes, I will go. I will be ready.

561
00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:28,119
So at first I say goodbye to my children.

562
00:34:28,159 --> 00:34:32,199
Speaker 7: No, under no circumstances are you to let them know

563
00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:38,000
that you're going. It would be very bad for them.

564
00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:51,960
Speaker 4: Oh, yes, I will do as you say. What time

565
00:34:52,039 --> 00:34:55,679
is it a little after nine? I say, let me afternone.

566
00:34:55,679 --> 00:34:58,960
I checked my watch before we left. Andrea, do you

567
00:34:59,039 --> 00:34:59,960
know the man drives?

568
00:35:00,519 --> 00:35:00,599
Speaker 2: No?

569
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:04,079
Speaker 5: But Uncle William said he would send a car for us,

570
00:35:04,639 --> 00:35:06,239
probably so mad from the village.

571
00:35:06,679 --> 00:35:07,920
Speaker 4: I trying to speak to him.

572
00:35:08,239 --> 00:35:11,440
Speaker 6: He didn't give me much of an answer, just mumbled

573
00:35:11,480 --> 00:35:13,320
something about driving us to the cemetery.

574
00:35:13,519 --> 00:35:15,679
Speaker 4: Is it very far from the house, But that's it?

575
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:17,079
Speaker 3: Just up ahead?

576
00:35:18,480 --> 00:35:21,440
Speaker 4: Who oh, this is it? But we will have to

577
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:25,960
walk from here a driver. When you wait for us here,

578
00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:32,159
follow me. I know where it is, Alex, don't run ahead,

579
00:35:32,239 --> 00:35:35,559
wait for us. Come on, it isn't false. I don't

580
00:35:35,639 --> 00:35:36,760
might be hear me. I n.

581
00:35:39,559 --> 00:35:43,679
Speaker 5: I recognize the area. Now this is the diapmends family fly.

582
00:35:44,159 --> 00:35:46,679
But Carol was very just just a.

583
00:35:46,519 --> 00:35:52,119
Speaker 4: Bead, Andrea, very concretely five, Come on, stands frightened, we're coming.

584
00:35:52,159 --> 00:35:58,599
Speaker 5: Alex, who's empty?

585
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:02,559
Speaker 4: Glen empty? Who's dug up?

586
00:36:03,400 --> 00:36:04,960
Speaker 5: And the body removed?

587
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:07,960
Speaker 4: Your uncle William never intended to go through with the

588
00:36:08,000 --> 00:36:08,760
re examination.

589
00:36:08,840 --> 00:36:10,599
Speaker 5: And he never tried to block you, or at least

590
00:36:10,599 --> 00:36:11,519
he said he never would.

591
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:14,199
Speaker 6: Why did he go through this whole business of sticking

592
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:16,199
up the body and bringing us here to see what

593
00:36:16,239 --> 00:36:16,559
he had.

594
00:36:16,480 --> 00:36:18,519
Speaker 3: Done the car?

595
00:36:19,119 --> 00:36:22,320
Speaker 4: The car had brought us here. It's leaving. Stop wait

596
00:36:22,559 --> 00:36:25,719
so your breath, Alex. He won't stop. How will you

597
00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:29,400
get back? You might ask that question of your uncle

598
00:36:29,480 --> 00:36:30,159
William By.

599
00:36:30,239 --> 00:36:34,559
Speaker 7: Yes, that's an excellent suggestion, Miss Richards, But we must hurry.

600
00:36:34,719 --> 00:36:37,400
There isn't too much time left. Why did you take

601
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:39,559
the body of Carol Wicker from her great I had

602
00:36:39,599 --> 00:36:42,119
two reasons, dearest nephew. One, I didn't want the body

603
00:36:42,159 --> 00:36:43,960
re examined for obvious reasons.

604
00:36:44,280 --> 00:36:49,199
Speaker 5: It really was murder then, not suicide, as the coroner's reports.

605
00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:51,440
Speaker 7: There, Oh my dear Nich you have an absolute genius

606
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:55,400
for the obvious. Yes, the report is in error.

607
00:36:55,559 --> 00:36:58,480
Speaker 4: Carol Wicker was murdered by you, as.

608
00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:01,639
Speaker 7: You have suspected for some time. Why did you kill

609
00:37:01,719 --> 00:37:05,000
poor cal He snooped around and snooped around.

610
00:37:06,159 --> 00:37:09,280
Speaker 6: She came up on the truth a story of how

611
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:10,639
Gareth died was alone.

612
00:37:10,760 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 4: Yes, I shot him down.

613
00:37:12,079 --> 00:37:12,800
Speaker 2: I killed him.

614
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:16,440
Speaker 7: I don't believe in giving a rabbit dog a chance

615
00:37:16,519 --> 00:37:17,000
to bite.

616
00:37:17,039 --> 00:37:19,880
Speaker 4: You brought us here to make a confession of your card.

617
00:37:20,039 --> 00:37:22,719
Speaker 7: Right to here, Miss Richards, to tie up all the

618
00:37:22,800 --> 00:37:27,280
loose ends neatly here. You're all going to die right here.

619
00:37:27,440 --> 00:37:32,800
Speaker 5: No, no, you couldn't. Why why weren't we done to you?

620
00:37:32,920 --> 00:37:33,760
Speaker 1: Stand in my way?

621
00:37:34,559 --> 00:37:36,039
Speaker 3: The dugman money will be mine.

622
00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:38,480
Speaker 4: You can't. You'll be discussed by whom.

623
00:37:38,920 --> 00:37:42,239
Speaker 7: There be no witnesses, No one will investigate your disappearance.

624
00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:47,280
Speaker 4: Help us, help us. Here is your murderer. He's here.

625
00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:50,039
Speaker 7: Oh, keep calling if you think it will do you

626
00:37:50,119 --> 00:37:53,760
any good. Gareth Nordway is dead and buried. He cannot

627
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:54,400
help you.

628
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:55,480
Speaker 4: You wanted revenge.

629
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:58,079
Speaker 3: Here he is the man who kills you.

630
00:37:58,199 --> 00:38:01,280
Speaker 7: All right, line up now, line up, as I'm telling.

631
00:38:01,079 --> 00:38:02,679
Speaker 4: You can come now.

632
00:38:03,039 --> 00:38:04,719
Speaker 7: I don't have to shoot you then where you stand,

633
00:38:04,760 --> 00:38:06,400
and drag your bodies into the pit.

634
00:38:06,519 --> 00:38:10,079
Speaker 6: If you come face your enemy cares.

635
00:38:09,840 --> 00:38:14,719
Speaker 7: Say James Richard's. They are stunted human beings, As I said,

636
00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:17,239
wouldn't it be better to end at all and let

637
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:18,400
them find peace?

638
00:38:19,039 --> 00:38:21,840
Speaker 4: Or mad creatures? You are the mad man.

639
00:38:23,119 --> 00:38:25,000
Speaker 7: I can fold the situation and it shall be as

640
00:38:25,039 --> 00:38:25,559
I want it.

641
00:38:25,599 --> 00:38:25,800
Speaker 4: To be.

642
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:28,760
Speaker 7: You will all be dead and silent, and no one

643
00:38:28,760 --> 00:38:29,760
will be the wiser.

644
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:35,400
Speaker 6: No, no, don't please, No, no, I'll stop you. I

645
00:38:35,559 --> 00:38:50,039
must I go. Oh you you you, I'm I'm quick.

646
00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:53,760
Speaker 4: It's all in his shots.

647
00:38:57,239 --> 00:38:59,679
Speaker 3: Until I stop him.

648
00:39:00,199 --> 00:39:02,360
Speaker 4: Yes, Al, he's dead.

649
00:39:03,480 --> 00:39:05,639
Speaker 5: Dyes.

650
00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:07,239
Speaker 4: Why didn't you help me?

651
00:39:08,400 --> 00:39:10,119
Speaker 5: I didn't.

652
00:39:11,480 --> 00:39:12,800
Speaker 4: I was able to do it.

653
00:39:13,159 --> 00:39:17,119
Speaker 3: I had to let you become a man, Alex.

654
00:39:18,039 --> 00:39:25,519
Speaker 4: And have I girth? Have I become a man? Why

655
00:39:25,639 --> 00:39:32,079
doesn't the answer me? He doesn't have to. You're proving

656
00:39:32,119 --> 00:39:42,840
yourself out. You know the answer. I just checked with

657
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:46,039
the ticket agent. The train's on time. I'm I'm sorry.

658
00:39:47,320 --> 00:39:50,280
I hate to see you leaving. I must and you'll

659
00:39:50,320 --> 00:39:53,440
be all right now, Andrew, are you sure you won't

660
00:39:53,440 --> 00:39:55,559
reconsider and come back to the city with me?

661
00:39:56,199 --> 00:40:00,039
Speaker 5: No, I've definitely decided to stay in the old.

662
00:40:01,480 --> 00:40:04,199
Speaker 4: So many memories. Well, has you ever changed your mind?

663
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:06,400
You know where and how to reach me. I know.

664
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:11,119
Speaker 5: The old house will be different now. It feels different.

665
00:40:12,039 --> 00:40:17,400
The gloom seems to have listed, and everything seems frighter's Alex.

666
00:40:17,480 --> 00:40:20,239
Speaker 4: Stop you promise not to draw on that.

667
00:40:20,519 --> 00:40:24,079
Speaker 5: Yes, I'll take my pro but I wanted to say

668
00:40:24,119 --> 00:40:28,679
that I'm I'm so proud, Yes, that's the word.

669
00:40:29,639 --> 00:40:31,639
Speaker 4: So proud of him.

670
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:34,760
Speaker 5: He worried that he was weak and ineffectual, that when

671
00:40:34,760 --> 00:40:37,840
the time came to be strong, he met the test.

672
00:40:38,480 --> 00:40:44,159
I have feeling, I know, but if I stay in graces,

673
00:40:45,880 --> 00:40:51,119
I will see him again. He'll be there always.

674
00:41:01,880 --> 00:41:04,719
Speaker 2: As the train began slowly pulling out of the station,

675
00:41:05,559 --> 00:41:08,639
Mary Richards could see the lonely figure of a young

676
00:41:08,719 --> 00:41:13,920
girl standing wistfully looking after the departing train. Then she

677
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:17,239
saw Andrea turn and make her way back to the

678
00:41:17,320 --> 00:41:22,760
old station. TAXI get in and start to Graystone, Manor

679
00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:26,519
empty now of all but its ghosts.

680
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:28,920
Speaker 4: I'll be back shortly.

681
00:41:40,280 --> 00:41:43,960
Speaker 3: What is real and what is unreal?

682
00:41:45,119 --> 00:41:47,960
Speaker 2: It's a question which is troubled man since he began

683
00:41:48,079 --> 00:41:51,880
to reason. Some say the answer can be found in

684
00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:55,840
our primeval fear of the dark, a carryover from our

685
00:41:55,840 --> 00:41:57,159
early days on this earth.

686
00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:00,079
Speaker 1: There are others who believe that there are four.

687
00:42:00,199 --> 00:42:05,880
Speaker 2: Is beyond our comprehension, forces which control us, guide us

688
00:42:05,920 --> 00:42:11,159
into good or evil. What do you think? Our cast

689
00:42:11,199 --> 00:42:15,880
included Marion Selvi's, Christopher Tabori, Mary Jane Higbee, Rose, Murray, Rice,

690
00:42:16,039 --> 00:42:19,679
and Ian Martin. The entire production was under the direction

691
00:42:19,840 --> 00:42:20,760
of Hyman Brown.

692
00:42:24,280 --> 00:42:24,840
Speaker 1: This is A. G.

693
00:42:25,039 --> 00:42:28,320
Speaker 2: Marshall inviting you to return to our Mystry Theater for

694
00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:35,360
another adventure in the macabre. Until next time, pleasant

695
00:43:00,320 --> 00:43:00,360
Speaker 4: A
