As John and gwyn Bag may tell 8 00:00:41.320 --> 00:00:56.759 it in their exciting tale The Sure Thing, Oh this way. 9 00:00:56.520 --> 00:00:59.320 Senor, thank you, if you would please wait in here 10 00:00:59.439 --> 00:01:03.520 in the sign you understand, Senor, I have not the 11 00:01:03.560 --> 00:01:05.560 authority to handle the matter myself. 12 00:01:05.640 --> 00:01:08.760 Yes, of course I understand. You see a bank craft 13 00:01:08.799 --> 00:01:12.640 of two million dollars. It is a matter of such importance. 14 00:01:12.840 --> 00:01:16.079 Senor jose peris the president of the bank. He is 15 00:01:16.120 --> 00:01:18.319 the only one that's perfectly all right. Our wait for 16 00:01:18.400 --> 00:01:25.760 Senor Peri's gracious wait. Yes, I could wait. I'd come 17 00:01:25.840 --> 00:01:28.719 this far. I could afford a few more minutes, and 18 00:01:28.760 --> 00:01:31.079 I wanted to think about it, to roll it over 19 00:01:31.120 --> 00:01:34.120 in my mind, just as your roller finally cur over 20 00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:37.560 your tongue, to enjoy the full realization of it. It 21 00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:40.280 was hard to believe just a short while ago. I 22 00:01:40.319 --> 00:01:44.079 had been ship's doctor on the SS Martina, the gilded 23 00:01:44.200 --> 00:01:49.560 ferry boat of the Caribbean. And now I sat back 24 00:01:49.599 --> 00:01:51.840 in a comfortable chair and went over the whole thing 25 00:01:51.840 --> 00:01:54.400 again in my mind, just the way it happened from 26 00:01:54.439 --> 00:01:57.439 the beginning. We had just cleared the Straits of Yucatan 27 00:01:57.519 --> 00:01:59.560 on our way to Havana when the twenty three way 28 00:01:59.680 --> 00:02:01.799 message came that started the whole thing. 29 00:02:03.760 --> 00:02:08.719 Same thing, Doc s sos slanted to twenty three flung 30 00:02:09.240 --> 00:02:13.520 and eighty five west accident case on board schooner SID 31 00:02:13.560 --> 00:02:18.439 on our tana urgently naded doctor, can you. 32 00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:20.879 Board us? 33 00:02:21.319 --> 00:02:23.919 Is that all the answer as to the type of injury? 34 00:02:24.120 --> 00:02:25.000 I don't get it, Jack. 35 00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:27.599 She's laying to just after starve and they still keep 36 00:02:27.639 --> 00:02:29.000 sending the same message. 37 00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:30.800 Life was ready, doctor. 38 00:02:30.520 --> 00:02:36.240 Coming, All set, let's go. As a rule, I don't 39 00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:38.400 excite easily, but I was hanging onto my little black 40 00:02:38.439 --> 00:02:41.800 bag like an intern on his first ambulance case. Maybe 41 00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:44.520 it was the hour, the gray hour at sea that 42 00:02:44.639 --> 00:02:47.960 is suspended between day and night. As we pulled away 43 00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:49.919 from our ship, I could just barely make out the 44 00:02:50.000 --> 00:02:53.439 schooner healing to a wandering current. She was a forty 45 00:02:53.479 --> 00:02:56.280 two footer, and from her high bow she sloped away 46 00:02:56.319 --> 00:02:59.599 neatly in a sweeping sheer line to a trim square 47 00:02:59.639 --> 00:03:03.879 stir in the siddon. The name seemed a fitter aloof 48 00:03:03.919 --> 00:03:06.919 and aristocratic. We pulled alongside that. 49 00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:07.599 The docname. 50 00:03:07.840 --> 00:03:10.319 Yes, give us a hand, William, all right, man, ship 51 00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:14.840 your oars, steady you on board?

Now where's the patient? 55 00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:25.919 He's below? What'd you bring the stretcher for? 56 00:03:26.240 --> 00:03:27.159 Who are you? 57 00:03:27.599 --> 00:03:28.199 And the owner? 58 00:03:28.520 --> 00:03:31.479 Felix Arosee is the name? You can't take him off 59 00:03:31.479 --> 00:03:32.520 this boat. He's till weak. 60 00:03:32.719 --> 00:03:38.439 I'll decide that. Come on, Olsen, coman back We went below. 61 00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:43.360 The main cabin was lined in Hondura's mahogany. Everything was 62 00:03:43.439 --> 00:03:46.560 custom built, even the galley that we passed through on 63 00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:49.639 our way to the stateroom forward, where I found my patient, 64 00:03:49.719 --> 00:03:52.360 an old man and with him a girl. 65 00:03:53.120 --> 00:04:00.759 Oh, Doc, rh, I'm so glad you're here. Joseph. Joseph, hmmm, Joseph, 66 00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:02.360 the doctor he's here. 67 00:04:02.759 --> 00:04:08.680 Oh doctor, easy, now easy, you'll be all right. 68 00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:12.039 Doctor. He had an accident. He's terribly ill. I've been 69 00:04:12.080 --> 00:04:12.680 so worried. 70 00:04:12.759 --> 00:04:16.920 Please mumm, bad shock, pulse pretty low. 71 00:04:17.360 --> 00:04:20.160 You're not going to take away, are you? 72 00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:23.439 Easy? Now? Have you enough oil a boy to reach 73 00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:28.040 Havana if the wind doesn't hold yes, I think so. Okay, Ulson, 74 00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:31.040 you go on back. This man's in no condition to 75 00:04:31.079 --> 00:04:31.600 be moved. 76 00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:32.399 What about you. 77 00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:34.399 I'll meet the ship in Havana. We ought to be 78 00:04:34.439 --> 00:04:38.279 in there sometime tomorrow. But the skipper I'll take the responsibility. 79 00:04:38.600 --> 00:04:40.399 Okay, you're the doctor. 80 00:04:40.360 --> 00:04:44.079 All right, let's have a look here, easy now. Who 81 00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:45.319 bandaged him? 82 00:04:45.720 --> 00:04:46.079 I did? 83 00:04:46.319 --> 00:04:50.160 You did a good job. Don't try to talk. How 84 00:04:50.160 --> 00:04:51.439 long has he been this way? 85 00:04:51.639 --> 00:04:52.160 Two days? 86 00:04:52.160 --> 00:04:52.800 Two days? 87 00:04:52.839 --> 00:04:53.920 The wound doctor, I'm afraid. 88 00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:57.959 Yes, it's a nasty one, deep and infected. Who did 89 00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:01.360 the surgery on him? Surgery probed for the bullets? 90 00:05:01.360 --> 00:05:01.720 Bullet? 91 00:05:02.879 --> 00:05:06.560 There was no bullet. He was injured while splicing a 92 00:05:06.600 --> 00:05:09.319 backstay with a marlin spike. He was what you see. 93 00:05:09.360 --> 00:05:11.639 He was carrying the marlin spike in his hand when 94 00:05:11.680 --> 00:05:14.839 Felix had to come about unexpectedly. It threw them off 95 00:05:14.839 --> 00:05:15.639 balance and he fell. 96 00:05:15.720 --> 00:05:19.079 Hand me, my bag, what's the matter. You're like a parrot. 97 00:05:19.120 --> 00:05:21.720 I used to own your seat. Talk is too glib. 98 00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:22.879 It's the truth. 99 00:05:22.879 --> 00:05:25.800 I've dug out too many bullets not to recognize the 100 00:05:25.879 --> 00:05:27.040 kind of mess they make. 101 00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:28.920 It was a Marlin spike. 102 00:05:29.079 --> 00:05:31.199 Yes, well you can yell Marlin Spike all the way 103 00:05:31.199 --> 00:05:36.360 to Havana, but it isn't going to change my report. Report. No, 104 00:05:36.360 --> 00:05:41.959 no bullet, Marlin spike back. This won't hurt. Just a 105 00:05:42.040 --> 00:05:44.920 hypodermy no, no, no, no, dop on it. But I've 106 00:05:44.959 --> 00:05:47.199 got to probe. You can't take it if you're conscious. 107 00:05:47.319 --> 00:05:55.120 No anesthetic, honey, Randy, doctor, give him the anesthetic you'd like, 108 00:05:55.240 --> 00:05:57.120 That wouldn't just if you're. 109 00:05:57.000 --> 00:05:58.720 Out of your mind, Joseph. I just want to save 110 00:05:58.759 --> 00:05:59.560 you the pain in the doc. 111 00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:02.600 Get him, brandy, doctor, it's his body. If that's what 112 00:06:02.639 --> 00:06:04.600 he wants, that's the way he'll have it. Now get 113 00:06:04.680 --> 00:06:08.639 the brandy, Thank you, and doctor. 114 00:06:08.839 --> 00:06:14.240 Yes, send Stephanie away, don't honor around me. 115 00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:19.639 She went away, but she didn't like it, and I 116 00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:21.800 got to work. The old man didn't say a word 117 00:06:21.839 --> 00:06:24.360 all the time I probed. He just moaned and gritted 118 00:06:24.360 --> 00:06:27.160 his teeth. I found the bullet, all right, and then 119 00:06:27.199 --> 00:06:30.399 I powdered the wound with sulfur and bandaged it. I 120 00:06:30.439 --> 00:06:32.279 could see I'd have my hands full just to keep 121 00:06:32.319 --> 00:06:35.319 him together until we got to Havana. For the next 122 00:06:35.319 --> 00:06:37.480 couple of hours, I was pretty busy, and it was 123 00:06:37.560 --> 00:06:39.439 well after ten o'clock when I thought it was safe 124 00:06:39.480 --> 00:06:40.920 to leave him and go up on deck to catch 125 00:06:40.959 --> 00:06:44.560 a smoke. Halfway up the companion way, I ran into 126 00:06:44.639 --> 00:06:48.040 Felix Rouge on his way down. I hadn't got a 127 00:06:48.040 --> 00:06:49.879 good look at him when I first came aboard, but 128 00:06:49.959 --> 00:06:53.959 now I did heavy, dark, bony face with a black 129 00:06:54.040 --> 00:06:57.759 mole on his cheek, fine flannel slacks rolled to his knees, 130 00:06:58.079 --> 00:07:01.639 and for a belt a gaudy nectar. Against the polished 131 00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:04.839 brass antique deck of the schooner, he was as incongruous 132 00:07:04.879 --> 00:07:06.480 as a herring and caviare. 133 00:07:07.000 --> 00:07:09.199 Oh, doc has the old boys. They're gonna kick off. 134 00:07:09.240 --> 00:07:11.079 I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I think he's gonna 135 00:07:11.079 --> 00:07:11.600 be all right. 136 00:07:11.920 --> 00:07:12.959 You think, or do you know? 137 00:07:13.160 --> 00:07:16.160 I'm only a doctor. I've done everything I can for it. Yeah, 138 00:07:16.160 --> 00:07:17.639 wait a minute, where are you going? 139 00:07:17.800 --> 00:07:19.279 I want to say him, I gotta talk to it. 140 00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:20.680 I wouldn't advise it. 141 00:07:21.560 --> 00:07:24.199 That's one of you giving the orders around he since 142 00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:25.120 I came aboard. 143 00:07:25.480 --> 00:07:27.759 I don't want him disturbed. He needs to rest. 144 00:07:29.240 --> 00:07:31.959 You've got any objections if I get myself a cup of. 145 00:07:31.920 --> 00:07:35.839 Coffee, No, so long as you stay away from my patient. 146 00:07:46.399 --> 00:07:47.639 Oh, I didn't hear you come up. 147 00:07:47.879 --> 00:07:49.680 You handle a wheel like an old saw. 148 00:07:49.879 --> 00:07:51.319 I don't know much about it. I just do what 149 00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:57.199 feel it tells me. How's Joseph. You've been down there 150 00:07:57.279 --> 00:07:59.639 such a long time. I thought that many that he died. 151 00:08:00.519 --> 00:08:03.519 What a horrible thing to say, of course, not. 152 00:08:03.839 --> 00:08:05.920 Oh it's Joseph, your husband. 153 00:08:06.120 --> 00:08:07.120 No, I'm his secretary. 154 00:08:07.439 --> 00:08:10.360 Oh, then this is a business trip. 155 00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:14.319 In a way, doctor, What are you getting at? 156 00:08:14.439 --> 00:08:15.240 Did you shoot him? 157 00:08:15.920 --> 00:08:17.600 Why would I shoot him and then call for a 158 00:08:17.639 --> 00:08:19.160 doctor out here in the middle of the ocean. 159 00:08:19.199 --> 00:08:22.040 I don't know, And after tomorrow I won't care. You realize. 160 00:08:22.079 --> 00:08:24.279 Of course my report to the authorities in Havana will 161 00:08:24.319 --> 00:08:26.759 be according to my own findings. 162 00:08:26.360 --> 00:08:30.480 I suppose. So may I have a cigarette? 163 00:08:30.639 --> 00:08:32.480 Oh? Certainly here you are. 164 00:08:33.279 --> 00:08:38.600 Thank you. I have a life. I don't imagine there's 165 00:08:38.720 --> 00:08:41.480 any way of changing your mind, is there, doctor? 166 00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:47.279 This is a beautiful schooner belong to your boss. Yes, 167 00:08:48.080 --> 00:08:50.320 I wonder, uh, you mind if I take the wheel 168 00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:52.240 for a while. It's been a long time, so you 169 00:08:52.279 --> 00:08:55.240 know how Yeah, I used to back in Maine. All right, 170 00:08:55.279 --> 00:09:01.000 go ahead, Hm feels good. She sure handles like a 171 00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:04.039 dream mum humhm. 172 00:09:04.120 --> 00:09:06.480 Just as I thought, what's wrong, doctor. 173 00:09:06.440 --> 00:09:10.279 We're not headed for Havana. We're headed in the opposite direction. 174 00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:16.759 The sedan was racing along with sails full, but she 175 00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:20.000 wasn't sailing due east to Havana. The compass said she 176 00:09:20.120 --> 00:09:24.000 was sailing southwest, away from Havana, as fast as wind 177 00:09:24.039 --> 00:09:26.320 and sail could take her. I laid her on the 178 00:09:26.320 --> 00:09:29.159 starboard tack and started to bring her about. The sails 179 00:09:29.159 --> 00:09:31.840 bellied out, catching the wind as it shifted across the bow, 180 00:09:32.360 --> 00:09:34.960 and then as they started to fill away, the mainmast 181 00:09:35.039 --> 00:09:37.879 boom swung over. Just as I ducked to a bullet, 182 00:09:37.919 --> 00:09:40.360 A shot rang up. I put up my hand to 183 00:09:40.399 --> 00:09:43.679 steady myself against the main boom, and there in the wood, 184 00:09:43.840 --> 00:09:46.159 right where my head would have been if I hadn't ducked, 185 00:09:46.519 --> 00:09:50.840 was the bullet. Across the deck. Silhouetted in the light 186 00:09:50.879 --> 00:09:54.360 of the companion way, stood Felix, polishing his gun with 187 00:09:54.440 --> 00:09:55.279 a handkerchief. 188 00:09:56.159 --> 00:09:59.919 You shudn't tack doctor. When a man's cleaning his gun, cleaning. 189 00:09:59.559 --> 00:10:01.559 Your gun the dark in the middle of the night. 190 00:10:01.960 --> 00:10:06.039 I suppose it is dangerous. I say, you don't like 191 00:10:06.080 --> 00:10:06.679 our course. 192 00:10:06.799 --> 00:10:09.480 I was under the impression this craft was bound for 193 00:10:09.519 --> 00:10:10.039 a banner. 194 00:10:10.360 --> 00:10:11.320 That's right, dark way. 195 00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:13.440 And why are we sailing southwest? 196 00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:18.279 Southwest? That's a woman for you. 197 00:10:18.960 --> 00:10:20.919 I can't trust them behind the wheel of a car, 198 00:10:20.960 --> 00:10:22.799 and they're no better behind the wheel of a boat. 199 00:10:22.879 --> 00:10:25.360 Oh no, Felix, you don't blame me for that. I 200 00:10:25.399 --> 00:10:27.759 don't know anything about a course. I did what you 201 00:10:27.799 --> 00:10:28.120 told me. 202 00:10:28.320 --> 00:10:29.240 Why didn't you do it right? 203 00:10:29.720 --> 00:10:33.000 If I'm so incompetent, maybe you'd better handle it yourself. 204 00:10:33.039 --> 00:10:33.679 Maybe I will. 205 00:10:38.039 --> 00:10:40.759 As the Sidung pushed its way through the serenity of 206 00:10:40.799 --> 00:10:44.480 the night, carrying with it an incredible tension, I didn't 207 00:10:44.519 --> 00:10:48.000 know what their game was, the lies, the marlin spike, 208 00:10:48.600 --> 00:10:51.960 nocturnal gun cleaning, change of course, who they were, or 209 00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:54.600 what they meant to each other. But one thing was certain. 210 00:10:54.840 --> 00:10:56.960 I intended to get to Havana if it was the 211 00:10:57.039 --> 00:10:59.679 last thing I ever did, And to make sure it 212 00:10:59.720 --> 00:11:02.759 wasn't last thing. This was one night I wouldn't sleep. 213 00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:05.399 I went down to the old man's stateroom, where I'd 214 00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:08.519 left my bag to get some benzitory. While I was there, 215 00:11:08.559 --> 00:11:11.240 I checked on him, considering his age, he had a 216 00:11:11.240 --> 00:11:14.840 lot of stamina. He was sleeping quietly. He wouldn't need me. 217 00:11:15.759 --> 00:11:19.039 I opened the bag, took the tablets, and suddenly my 218 00:11:19.120 --> 00:11:23.519 hands stopped in mid air. My hypodermic needle, loaded with 219 00:11:23.559 --> 00:11:30.759 the anesthetic that Joseph had refused, was gone. 220 00:11:37.840 --> 00:11:41.279 In just a moment. We will return to escape, but 221 00:11:41.440 --> 00:11:45.200 first we keep reminding you that this fall you'll hear 222 00:11:45.240 --> 00:11:48.519 them all on CBS.

I try the bag apart, took everything out, 240 00:12:54.879 --> 00:12:58.480 but it wasn't there. It wasn't anywhere in the stateroom. 241 00:12:58.559 --> 00:13:02.279 One of them had stolen. Why do you use on 242 00:13:02.360 --> 00:13:06.039 the old man on me? I went back up on deck. 243 00:13:06.679 --> 00:13:09.639 Felix was at the wheel. I knew it was futile 244 00:13:09.720 --> 00:13:11.399 to ask him if he'd taken my leedle. 245 00:13:12.720 --> 00:13:15.799 What's the matter? Can't you sleep? Or are you're still 246 00:13:15.840 --> 00:13:19.399 worried about the course? He was sailing due east. 247 00:13:19.840 --> 00:13:23.679 Very commendable, mind if I take the wheel awhile. 248 00:13:23.639 --> 00:13:26.759 Now I don't mind at all, but keep a due 249 00:13:26.799 --> 00:13:34.879 east doctor. I want to get to Havana. I watched 250 00:13:34.919 --> 00:13:38.120 his truculent broad back as he moved across the deck 251 00:13:38.159 --> 00:13:42.039 and disappeared below. The moon was as bright as day 252 00:13:42.320 --> 00:13:45.440 and as reassuring. It drove the worry of the missing 253 00:13:45.480 --> 00:13:49.200 hypodermic needle away from the front of my mind. It 254 00:13:49.320 --> 00:13:52.679 was good to be alone, to feel the sure, swiftness 255 00:13:52.679 --> 00:13:54.320 of the boat under my feet. 256 00:13:54.360 --> 00:13:58.120 This was something to cling to. This was reality. Every 257 00:13:58.240 --> 00:14:02.639 knot closer to Havannah. The sail swung out, covering the moon, 258 00:14:02.799 --> 00:14:06.679 throwing everything into blackness. That's why I didn't realize at 259 00:14:06.679 --> 00:14:09.840 first any one was approaching. Until I saw the glow 260 00:14:09.919 --> 00:14:13.720 of the cigarette. I tensed myself. My hand clutched at 261 00:14:13.759 --> 00:14:17.519 something in the cockpit was a wrench. The cigarette moved closer. 262 00:14:17.799 --> 00:14:21.639 I waited, The sail bellowed back, and I saw her 263 00:14:22.360 --> 00:14:25.559 full in the moonlight. There was strength and defiance, and 264 00:14:25.639 --> 00:14:27.679 the way she held her footing against the wind, but 265 00:14:28.480 --> 00:14:30.480 there was no defiance in her voice. 266 00:14:33.120 --> 00:14:34.639 I have to talk to you. 267 00:14:34.679 --> 00:14:36.240 Don't go ahead, talk. 268 00:14:36.679 --> 00:14:38.559 I'm afraid I haven't been very honest with you. 269 00:14:38.840 --> 00:14:40.200 N I'm afraid you haven't. 270 00:14:40.639 --> 00:14:43.000 I lied to you, and I realize now how foolish 271 00:14:43.000 --> 00:14:46.399 it was. But doctor, I'm afraid of Felix. 272 00:14:46.840 --> 00:14:49.440 Are you trying to tell me it was Felix who 273 00:14:49.440 --> 00:14:50.440 shot the old man? 274 00:14:51.039 --> 00:14:52.919 Yes, and he made me lie about it like. 275 00:14:52.919 --> 00:14:54.279 You lied about the course. 276 00:14:55.080 --> 00:14:57.720 You'll never get to Havannah. He's letting you think that 277 00:14:57.759 --> 00:14:59.720 you're getting there now. But he'll figure out something. 278 00:15:00.080 --> 00:15:02.480 I'm sure he will if that target practice a few 279 00:15:02.519 --> 00:15:04.000 moments ago was any simple. 280 00:15:04.200 --> 00:15:07.000 Oh, he wasn't trying to kill you. Felix wouldn't kill 281 00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:08.919 you now, not as long as Joseph needs you. Uh, 282 00:15:09.639 --> 00:15:10.440 I mean, you know. 283 00:15:10.440 --> 00:15:14.080 You're not making sense again. Felix wants me to keep 284 00:15:14.159 --> 00:15:17.679 Joseph alive, And yet Felix shot Joseph. 285 00:15:17.720 --> 00:15:19.679 It was just in a fit of anger, an argument. 286 00:15:20.360 --> 00:15:24.120 Felix has a terrible temper. Why he'd be a fool 287 00:15:24.120 --> 00:15:25.000 to kill Joseph? 288 00:15:25.039 --> 00:15:29.159 What makes Joseph so valuable? Hm? 289 00:15:29.600 --> 00:15:31.440 I suppose I should tell you all of it. 290 00:15:31.879 --> 00:15:33.120 It might be a good idea. 291 00:15:33.840 --> 00:15:35.639 I told you the truth about one thing. At least 292 00:15:35.679 --> 00:15:39.679 I am his secretary. Only his name isn't just Joseph. 293 00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:41.399 It's Joseph Ingram. 294 00:15:41.600 --> 00:15:45.919 Ingram, No wonder his face was familiar. He's he's the 295 00:15:45.919 --> 00:15:48.559 big aviation tycoon. Yet but look Ingram was killed two 296 00:15:48.600 --> 00:15:50.720 weeks ago. I read about it in the papers. A 297 00:15:50.799 --> 00:15:52.919 transcontinental airplane crashed into a mountain. 298 00:15:53.000 --> 00:15:56.480 Yes, even fate works for him. We were on our 299 00:15:56.519 --> 00:15:58.480 way to Washington, he'd been subpoena to have his war 300 00:15:58.519 --> 00:16:02.440 contracts investigated. All the public was really worked up about it. 301 00:16:02.759 --> 00:16:05.159 He was a cinch to be indicted. Why even his 302 00:16:05.240 --> 00:16:08.200 own wife left him after twenty years of marriage. But 303 00:16:08.279 --> 00:16:10.879 as luck would have it, we got off the plane 304 00:16:10.879 --> 00:16:13.759 at Albuquerque to hands raw wire from his attorneys. 305 00:16:13.279 --> 00:16:16.960 But the radio and the newspapers obituaried him. Today, I know. 306 00:16:17.000 --> 00:16:20.600 That's how things happened for him. Apparently there there was 307 00:16:20.720 --> 00:16:23.000 just no record of us leaving the plane, and they 308 00:16:23.039 --> 00:16:26.480 only found half the survivors, and some of those they 309 00:16:26.639 --> 00:16:30.919 couldn't identify him. Now go on, Well, when Joseph realized 310 00:16:30.960 --> 00:16:34.240 that he was officially dead, he saw the way out. 311 00:16:34.399 --> 00:16:36.720 He phoned Felix in Florida to have the sitting ready, 312 00:16:36.759 --> 00:16:38.840 and we took a train down and border her there. 313 00:16:38.879 --> 00:16:40.240 Yeah, I see, but I don't want. 314 00:16:40.200 --> 00:16:42.840 Why do you think I'm on this boat? Do you 315 00:16:42.919 --> 00:16:45.080 think I wanted to come? Do you think I wanted 316 00:16:45.120 --> 00:16:49.200 to leave my whole life behind? I was forced to come. 317 00:16:50.000 --> 00:16:52.639 I was the only one who knew that Joseph was 318 00:16:52.679 --> 00:16:53.279 still alive. 319 00:16:54.120 --> 00:16:57.879 And now you know what about Felix or Felix. 320 00:16:58.559 --> 00:17:03.279 Does odd job as it were, for Joseph. Joseph owns 321 00:17:03.399 --> 00:17:07.240 Felix's body and soul, just as he owns everyone. 322 00:17:06.920 --> 00:17:10.839 Who works for him, and you. I was ambitious. 323 00:17:12.039 --> 00:17:16.119 I order hate Joseph, but it's not his fault. I 324 00:17:16.240 --> 00:17:18.400 saw a chance to go further with him than with 325 00:17:18.519 --> 00:17:23.279 any other man. Only i'd known how it would end, 326 00:17:24.599 --> 00:17:28.000 running away from everything, always to be afraid. 327 00:17:28.519 --> 00:17:31.519 Well, if that's it, then I was wrong. Then maybe 328 00:17:31.559 --> 00:17:36.359 the needle isn't meant for Joseph. Needle What needle? The 329 00:17:36.440 --> 00:17:39.759 hypodermic needle loaded with anesthetic? It's missing from my bag. 330 00:17:40.319 --> 00:17:43.839 If it isn't meant for Joseph, for me, it's meant 331 00:17:43.839 --> 00:17:44.119 for you. 332 00:17:44.400 --> 00:17:47.880 No, oh, no, he can't. 333 00:17:48.119 --> 00:17:50.640 He wouldn't be afraid. We'll have to be more realistic, 334 00:17:51.480 --> 00:17:54.240 if you'll forgive the pun. I'm afraid we're both in 335 00:17:54.319 --> 00:17:55.359 the same boat. 336 00:17:55.799 --> 00:17:56.079 Wow. 337 00:17:58.799 --> 00:18:01.720 There was desperation on her face, and I felt sorry 338 00:18:01.759 --> 00:18:03.799 for her. She was in this mess up to her neck, 339 00:18:03.839 --> 00:18:06.920 and she was afraid, And yet it was good having 340 00:18:06.960 --> 00:18:10.359 her beside me there in the cockpit. It was pleasant 341 00:18:10.359 --> 00:18:12.960 to be with her, just the two of us, and 342 00:18:13.000 --> 00:18:16.960 the moon and the sea. Well, anyway, the hypodermic needle 343 00:18:17.039 --> 00:18:18.960 was the farthest thing from my mind when I took 344 00:18:19.000 --> 00:18:22.359 her in my arms, and then it happened. I felt 345 00:18:22.359 --> 00:18:25.400 the stinger that pierced my flesh. The needle. 346 00:18:25.759 --> 00:18:26.680 What are you talking about? 347 00:18:26.880 --> 00:18:28.000 The needle? You stuck me with it? 348 00:18:29.440 --> 00:18:37.559 Oh, I'm sorry. It was just my broach. It's always coming. 349 00:18:37.359 --> 00:18:40.400 Open and broachure, I thought. 350 00:18:40.759 --> 00:18:43.319 Silly the fashment volume, Will you please? 351 00:18:44.200 --> 00:18:48.400 Sure? Yes, of course, Well your shake looks that missing hypodermic. 352 00:18:48.440 --> 00:18:50.880 It tas me rattled. I've got to get it back. 353 00:18:51.039 --> 00:18:53.160 You'll get it back, yes, but when? 354 00:18:53.480 --> 00:18:53.720 How? 355 00:18:54.240 --> 00:18:56.559 Right? Now? Doctor? Like this? 356 00:18:58.480 --> 00:19:01.400 She used the needle defintely and one motion plunged it 357 00:19:01.400 --> 00:19:03.880 in my arm. I tried to struggle to my feet. 358 00:19:04.000 --> 00:19:06.839 Her face was mocking me. I grabbed for her, but 359 00:19:06.960 --> 00:19:11.279 the drug was warm and deadening, and after a blurred moment, 360 00:19:11.839 --> 00:19:19.359 I was gone. 361 00:19:19.400 --> 00:19:21.319 You me. 362 00:19:21.759 --> 00:19:24.920 I could hear them from a long ways off. I 363 00:19:25.039 --> 00:19:28.119 came too slowly, and I lay there listening. 364 00:19:30.079 --> 00:19:31.279 I only did what you told. 365 00:19:31.119 --> 00:19:31.480 Me to do. 366 00:19:32.039 --> 00:19:34.240 You're the one who's blunkled you. 367 00:19:34.279 --> 00:19:36.559 But you were both standing over me, working on me, 368 00:19:36.720 --> 00:19:38.519 doing everything they could to bring. 369 00:19:38.400 --> 00:19:42.279 Me to Now you've spoiled everything. Why did you have 370 00:19:42.359 --> 00:19:43.119 to rush things. 371 00:19:43.279 --> 00:19:44.640 You want to know where the money is, don't you. 372 00:19:44.720 --> 00:19:46.960 Well you haven't found out now, Maybe you won't if 373 00:19:47.000 --> 00:19:50.920 you'd left Joseph alone. But no, no, you couldn't wait 374 00:19:51.200 --> 00:19:53.319 as soon as the doctor was unconscious of how to 375 00:19:53.359 --> 00:19:56.599 work him over. If Joseph dies out, we'll never find 376 00:19:56.599 --> 00:19:57.440 out where he hit it. 377 00:19:57.440 --> 00:19:59.519 It's on this boat. I know that. And I didn't 378 00:19:59.599 --> 00:20:01.279 hurt him, just pushed him around a little. 379 00:20:01.480 --> 00:20:05.359 Oh that's you for temper of yours, that awful impatience. 380 00:20:06.119 --> 00:20:08.559 You'd think you could have waited for two million dollars. 381 00:20:10.119 --> 00:20:14.440 Two million dollars. Now it began to make some sense. 382 00:20:14.519 --> 00:20:17.480 Now everything made sense. As long as Joseph needed a 383 00:20:17.559 --> 00:20:20.000 doctor and wouldn't tell where the money was, we both lived. 384 00:20:20.400 --> 00:20:22.119 But if I couldn't keep him alive. 385 00:20:22.400 --> 00:20:25.440 Get on your feet, duck, Come on, come on, doc, 386 00:20:25.480 --> 00:20:28.759 get on your feet. Since what are you getting so touching? 387 00:20:28.799 --> 00:20:28.920 Now? 388 00:20:28.920 --> 00:20:30.720 Come on, come on, all right, all right, I'm on 389 00:20:30.759 --> 00:20:31.279 my feet. 390 00:20:31.640 --> 00:20:34.559 Welcome back, Doc. Now get below the old man Major. 391 00:20:34.599 --> 00:20:38.519 He's had a relapse. Stephanie, take the wheel, I said, 392 00:20:38.559 --> 00:20:39.279 get below. 393 00:20:39.519 --> 00:20:39.759 Doc. 394 00:20:39.920 --> 00:20:41.599 Not in the mood to take orders. 395 00:20:41.720 --> 00:20:43.240 Maybe this will put you in the mood. 396 00:20:46.480 --> 00:20:49.440 Creased my chin with a short jab. My knees buckled. 397 00:20:49.839 --> 00:20:52.400 I swung at him and missed. I saw another one coming, 398 00:20:52.599 --> 00:20:54.680 and this time I ducked and connected with a round 399 00:20:54.680 --> 00:20:56.359 house on the side of his head that sent him 400 00:20:56.400 --> 00:20:59.559 reeling along the wet narrow deck. I started after him, 401 00:20:59.799 --> 00:21:02.160
