1
00:00:04,599 --> 00:00:09,839
Speaker 1: Come in welcome. I'm g Marshall.

2
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:13,720
Speaker 2: It is a generally accepted theory that no man is

3
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:17,160
all good or all bad, that there is a mixture

4
00:00:17,199 --> 00:00:18,000
of both.

5
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:20,199
Speaker 1: In all of us, that we are all in some

6
00:00:20,399 --> 00:00:22,960
degree Doctor Jekyll and mister Hyde.

7
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 2: But is it possible that a man could be all evil,

8
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:32,520
all selfish, all destructive without a single saving grace?

9
00:00:33,759 --> 00:00:40,960
Speaker 1: This is the study of such a man. Lord, will

10
00:00:41,039 --> 00:00:44,560
the old goat never die?

11
00:00:46,039 --> 00:00:52,280
Speaker 3: The bishop is dead. He has for you the last

12
00:00:53,799 --> 00:00:56,240
Could you hear me? Car I hear you?

13
00:00:56,560 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 1: Of course I did. And now by Heaven your guy

14
00:01:00,159 --> 00:01:00,759
to hear me.

15
00:01:02,079 --> 00:01:02,640
Speaker 3: Asked for me?

16
00:01:02,759 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 1: Did he? The slavering old hypocrite? He could no more

17
00:01:06,599 --> 00:01:08,079
stand the sight of me than I have him. But

18
00:01:08,159 --> 00:01:11,000
now he's gone, and there's nothing to stop me. This

19
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:15,000
state is mine, the money is mine. Now I can

20
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:18,840
rock the rafters, the Seven Deadly Sins, the Ten Commandments.

21
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:20,519
I'm going to commit all the first, and I'll break

22
00:01:20,519 --> 00:01:24,879
all the second. Oh, I'm going to cut such a suave.

23
00:01:25,439 --> 00:01:27,040
The devil himself will envy me.

24
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:42,120
Speaker 2: Our mystery drama markheim Man or Monster was suggested by

25
00:01:42,159 --> 00:01:45,159
the Robert Lewis Stephenson classic and was written especially for

26
00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:51,239
the Mystery Theater by Ian Martin. Ten stars Kevin McCarthy.

27
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:02,120
I'm going to cut such a swathe that the devil.

28
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:03,359
Speaker 1: Himself will envy me.

29
00:02:04,519 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 2: These explosive words from the tall young man who had

30
00:02:07,799 --> 00:02:11,199
waited so long for his great uncle to die shook

31
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:15,319
the man who had brought the news, doctor John devlen In,

32
00:02:15,439 --> 00:02:18,719
stunned disbelief. He looked at the handsome young man, still

33
00:02:18,719 --> 00:02:21,919
in his thirties, whom he loved as a son, while

34
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,000
memory raced quickly through his head.

35
00:02:29,319 --> 00:02:32,240
Speaker 1: I had known Carl Mark him all his life. I

36
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:36,080
should I brought him into the world. Perhaps what I

37
00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:39,919
should be saying is I thought I had known him. Oh,

38
00:02:40,039 --> 00:02:43,280
I realized that beneath the dark byronic beauty of his

39
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:47,439
physical presence and his magnetic charm, he was lazy and

40
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:52,439
shiftless and frequently arrogant. But since his parents death, I

41
00:02:52,479 --> 00:02:56,159
had stood in local parentice to him and accepted his faults,

42
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,759
as any parent eventually must do with a grown man.

43
00:03:00,879 --> 00:03:04,719
And yet till this moment I had failed to realize

44
00:03:04,759 --> 00:03:08,479
the ugly evilness that look keep within him.

45
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,120
Speaker 3: Carl'll control yourself.

46
00:03:12,719 --> 00:03:14,800
Speaker 1: The house is full of mourners who loved and respected

47
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:17,000
the great pamp we had just lost. Come with me

48
00:03:17,080 --> 00:03:20,639
quickly into the library, so you can get hold of yoursel. Oh,

49
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:24,120
I can control myself, Uncle John, If I could keep

50
00:03:24,159 --> 00:03:27,000
myself in hand, swallow my bile. All those years I

51
00:03:27,039 --> 00:03:29,840
had to scratch for handouts. How easy do you think

52
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:31,560
it's going to be for me now that I'm.

53
00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:32,960
Speaker 4: King of the hell?

54
00:03:33,319 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: Carl Boy, save some pity and sorrow for the poor

55
00:03:37,319 --> 00:03:37,800
old man.

56
00:03:37,879 --> 00:03:39,199
Speaker 3: He was your great uncle.

57
00:03:39,240 --> 00:03:41,759
Speaker 1: He was a family nemesis. He sat on the estate

58
00:03:41,800 --> 00:03:44,800
and the money, pontificating on the virtues of frugality and

59
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:49,000
self denial, refusing my father's share, hounding him into mediocrity,

60
00:03:49,039 --> 00:03:51,319
turning him into a fawning dog, killing him in the end,

61
00:03:51,759 --> 00:03:55,639
and my mother with him. May he rot in hell

62
00:03:55,919 --> 00:04:01,319
to you well, then in heaven, wherever uses or wherever

63
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,439
he was led. All I care for is that at

64
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:08,280
last he is dead, and I am alive.

65
00:04:09,319 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 3: And free.

66
00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 1: Oh, come, come, uncle, let's start the festivities. I follow

67
00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:23,519
my foster son from the room, my old legs unable

68
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,920
to keep up with the vigorous stride of his younger ones.

69
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:30,360
I watch him pass among the guests, a perfect picture

70
00:04:30,399 --> 00:04:34,959
of subdued grief and compassion, his tall figure above everyone

71
00:04:35,519 --> 00:04:37,639
as he moves through the crowd of mourners towards the

72
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:42,600
children's family, the oldest and dearest friends of Karl's father

73
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:43,040
and mother.

74
00:04:44,519 --> 00:04:46,199
Speaker 3: And I cannot believe.

75
00:04:45,879 --> 00:04:49,959
Speaker 1: It watching him now, the thoughts that he has put

76
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:53,199
into words in front of me, Carl, my dear boy,

77
00:04:53,959 --> 00:04:56,759
My deepest condulence is thank you, mister Childers.

78
00:04:57,439 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 5: I'm sorry to Karl.

79
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:01,759
Speaker 4: I wish there was something I could do to help.

80
00:05:01,920 --> 00:05:06,199
Speaker 1: Thank you, Grace. But it had to come eventually.

81
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:09,360
Speaker 6: Didn't it, As it must do all men and women

82
00:05:09,439 --> 00:05:10,600
to us suppose.

83
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,480
Speaker 1: Never to you, missus Childs. You look like Grace's sister.

84
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 6: Now there's the wildest of compliments from a young man

85
00:05:16,879 --> 00:05:19,839
to a woman catering on the edge of her prime.

86
00:05:20,079 --> 00:05:23,000
Speaker 1: That's true enough, madam, that you are in your prime,

87
00:05:23,079 --> 00:05:24,600
but far from the edge.

88
00:05:24,639 --> 00:05:27,120
Speaker 5: You are very glant, and you.

89
00:05:26,879 --> 00:05:29,240
Speaker 1: Are very out of key for such a solemn occasion.

90
00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:30,600
Speaker 3: Guddural, I'm sorry, Winston.

91
00:05:30,759 --> 00:05:35,079
Speaker 6: I certainly didn't mean to say or do anything inappropriate.

92
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:39,879
Speaker 1: When will the actual internment be called? Oh, I'm frank,

93
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:41,879
I'll have to ask Uncle John. He can tell you

94
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:47,800
exactly what's planned? Oh, hello there, Doctor Devlin, mister Julter's missus, Grace,

95
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:48,600
what do you do?

96
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:50,439
Speaker 5: Always a pleasure to see you.

97
00:05:50,519 --> 00:05:54,839
Speaker 6: Dr Devlon, even under these most unhappy circumstances.

98
00:05:54,439 --> 00:05:57,040
Speaker 1: I've got to get a breath of air. Grace, you

99
00:05:57,079 --> 00:05:59,839
want to join me on the balcony? Oh? Yes, will

100
00:05:59,879 --> 00:06:02,399
you excuse us for a moment, Uncle John, I leave

101
00:06:02,399 --> 00:06:05,439
everything in your charge. I've got to get away, and

102
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,279
Grace has been kind enough to offer to accompany me

103
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:10,639
now just a moment. I think I.

104
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 6: Think we should let the young people have a moment

105
00:06:12,879 --> 00:06:16,759
alone to gather themselves together, as the rest of us

106
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:18,560
must plan to do well.

107
00:06:19,199 --> 00:06:22,120
Speaker 1: Of course, Darling, if you think so, you'll excuse us

108
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:27,600
then by all means.

109
00:06:27,439 --> 00:06:30,759
Speaker 5: Oh look, Carl, here's a full.

110
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:35,879
Speaker 1: Moon, lover's moon. Strange things I have to equate with death.

111
00:06:38,079 --> 00:06:42,199
Speaker 4: I can't imagine that. I can't even think how it

112
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:47,680
might be. No, ill, could you at eighteen nineteen almost twenty?

113
00:06:48,279 --> 00:06:50,800
Speaker 1: You're growing up so soon, little Grace.

114
00:06:51,639 --> 00:06:54,759
Speaker 4: I have been grown up for some time, and let's

115
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:57,040
not go through any of that old routine about how

116
00:06:57,079 --> 00:07:00,519
you used to dangle me on your NKPO didn't I well,

117
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:01,079
if you did.

118
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,120
Speaker 5: I was either much too old or you much too young?

119
00:07:05,079 --> 00:07:05,800
How old are you?

120
00:07:05,879 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 1: Anyway older than the pyramids? What before my great uncle died?

121
00:07:13,199 --> 00:07:16,600
Now I dropped a decade like a snake, sluffsy skin.

122
00:07:17,079 --> 00:07:19,120
I'm back to my twenties, not my thirties.

123
00:07:19,279 --> 00:07:22,120
Speaker 5: Oh, I wish you really believed that, Carl. I've been

124
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:25,240
in love with you all my life. I wish you

125
00:07:25,240 --> 00:07:27,759
could see me as a woman.

126
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 1: Grace, my dear old, excuse me, but the undertakers are here.

127
00:07:33,759 --> 00:07:35,240
I think you ought to be with us to make

128
00:07:35,279 --> 00:07:39,920
the arrangements. Just call me Angel of Grace, the angel

129
00:07:39,959 --> 00:07:43,439
of death. As presumptive air, I must spread my wings

130
00:07:43,439 --> 00:07:45,800
and fly to sit and hatch the golden eggs with

131
00:07:45,839 --> 00:07:47,319
all dew, pomp and ceremony.

132
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:53,319
Speaker 4: I love to call you angel, but for very different reasons.

133
00:07:53,399 --> 00:07:55,319
Speaker 5: And now you can afford a wife.

134
00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 1: You know you are a very forward little minx and

135
00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:01,839
mmmm an attractive one.

136
00:08:02,079 --> 00:08:03,759
Speaker 3: Carl, how are you coming?

137
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:04,040
Speaker 6: Oh?

138
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,560
Speaker 1: I wouldn't miss it for the world, Uncle John, I

139
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:12,639
can't wait to be in at that death. I'm very

140
00:08:12,759 --> 00:08:16,120
displeased with you, Gertrud, Are you winstant? Dear?

141
00:08:16,199 --> 00:08:17,160
Speaker 3: What about this time?

142
00:08:17,639 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 1: Grace sending her off with that great.

143
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:22,279
Speaker 5: Marcheim you disapprove of.

144
00:08:22,319 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 6: Young Markham is a husband, for Grace.

145
00:08:24,519 --> 00:08:25,199
Speaker 3: He's not young.

146
00:08:25,319 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 6: He's in his thirties, young enough and now gloriously rich.

147
00:08:30,199 --> 00:08:32,600
Speaker 1: And I'm sorry to disappoint you, my dear, but as

148
00:08:32,679 --> 00:08:35,840
family lawyer, I happen to have drawn the Bishop's will.

149
00:08:36,519 --> 00:08:39,720
The entire estate goes to the church, except for a

150
00:08:39,759 --> 00:08:41,559
small pittance to his grand nephew.

151
00:08:42,039 --> 00:08:46,559
Speaker 6: Oh no, oh, Look at Grace. The way she looks

152
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:50,480
at him, you can see she adores him, and she

153
00:08:50,639 --> 00:08:52,279
does have money of her own.

154
00:08:52,159 --> 00:08:55,039
Speaker 1: On which, as long as I have any say about it,

155
00:08:55,399 --> 00:08:58,360
he'll never lay a fingers for coming this way. I'm

156
00:08:58,399 --> 00:09:00,960
returning your daughter to you, safe and sound. If you'll

157
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:03,919
excuse me, I understand the undertakers are here and I

158
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:04,759
shall be needed.

159
00:09:05,159 --> 00:09:05,720
Speaker 6: Then we'll go.

160
00:09:06,399 --> 00:09:10,279
Speaker 1: Grace, you and your mother go home. I shall stay

161
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,440
for the reading of the will so soon if you

162
00:09:13,639 --> 00:09:16,960
prefer to wait. No, no, by all means, let's have

163
00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:21,159
anything pleasant that we can on this unfortunately dreary occasion.

164
00:09:21,639 --> 00:09:23,519
I shall make all due haste to have the bishop

165
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,120
transported to the morticians, so that he can robe and

166
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,919
prepare him for his lost retreat.

167
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:29,639
Speaker 3: Carl.

168
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,600
Speaker 1: Oh, forgive me, mister and missus Schulders.

169
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:34,840
Speaker 3: But Carl, you're keeping us waiting, if.

170
00:09:34,720 --> 00:09:37,240
Speaker 1: You excuse me, right, all right, I'm sorry, I'm sorry,

171
00:09:37,279 --> 00:09:40,600
Uncle John. I didn't realize that the old boy was

172
00:09:40,639 --> 00:09:46,320
in that much of a hurry. I don't believe it.

173
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:50,960
Everything estate, this house, all the money to the church.

174
00:09:51,399 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 3: You'd the will. I'll contest it.

175
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 1: I'll drag it through every corner, my Carl, easy, he

176
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,440
left you a yearlier, the whole a thousand pounds a year. Well,

177
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,559
that's not enough to keep me in cigars. I think

178
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:05,480
the bishop had it in mind that it was high

179
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:07,600
time for you to start earning your own living. Don't

180
00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:10,679
you look down your nose at me, you pomp that.

181
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 3: I'll control it.

182
00:10:12,279 --> 00:10:16,320
Speaker 1: Oh, quite all right, doctor Devlin. I can well understand

183
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:20,200
how Markheim's disappointment. But time will accustom him to his

184
00:10:20,279 --> 00:10:23,639
new status in life. Will entitles him to stay on

185
00:10:23,799 --> 00:10:27,960
for six months in the house. It will take that

186
00:10:28,039 --> 00:10:30,799
long to clear probate. Anyhow, you'll have a clear probate.

187
00:10:31,320 --> 00:10:35,799
I'll contest. That's your election. But let me warn you, Mark,

188
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:39,840
I'm I drew this will and his iron plaid. You

189
00:10:39,879 --> 00:10:42,960
can't break it, haf Besides, it will cost money to contest,

190
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:47,200
and it seems that's what you have in your own words,

191
00:10:47,360 --> 00:10:52,039
very little, good day, gentlemen, good Davis. To choose all

192
00:10:52,159 --> 00:10:55,879
that fat, supercilious, vulgar little, or will.

193
00:10:55,720 --> 00:10:59,639
Speaker 3: You stop it? I can't bear to see you like this?

194
00:11:00,159 --> 00:11:00,879
Speaker 1: Is I really am?

195
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 3: Oh no, I won't believe that.

196
00:11:02,159 --> 00:11:04,399
Speaker 1: Off you and watch me find a way to cut

197
00:11:04,519 --> 00:11:07,600
him down. The sides can't, Carl, you have no power

198
00:11:07,639 --> 00:11:08,639
to change what is?

199
00:11:08,799 --> 00:11:09,399
Speaker 7: Oh you think not?

200
00:11:09,879 --> 00:11:12,320
Speaker 1: You think not When one has no scruples and long ago,

201
00:11:12,519 --> 00:11:17,039
very disconscious, anything and everything is possible. I'll stop looking

202
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:20,639
so scantalized. He's a naked truth, more than your Victorian

203
00:11:20,759 --> 00:11:27,759
morals can bear him.

204
00:11:27,799 --> 00:11:29,519
Speaker 5: Oh, I'm so glad you came.

205
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,960
Speaker 1: To dinner, car Well, how could I refuse except that

206
00:11:33,039 --> 00:11:35,039
your father wasn't quite so happy?

207
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:38,639
Speaker 4: Oh, Dale, come around, mother, and I will see to that.

208
00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:44,039
I can't think why he's taken this sudden turn against you.

209
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:48,159
Speaker 1: I'll tell you why. It's because of the will my

210
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,480
beloved great uncle has left me practically penniless.

211
00:11:52,080 --> 00:11:58,039
Speaker 4: No, oh, my poor darling. Oh, but you, with your

212
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:02,080
wonderful brain and all your connections, you can find a

213
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:03,559
way to be as rich as you want to be.

214
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 1: Well, it takes time, and I don't get any younger.

215
00:12:06,919 --> 00:12:08,399
Speaker 5: Oh, you'll never look old.

216
00:12:09,159 --> 00:12:13,200
Speaker 1: I adore you, my darling. I have all my life

217
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:18,360
watching waiting for you to grow it. You have to

218
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:21,759
be old enough to ask you to be Well, it's

219
00:12:21,759 --> 00:12:22,840
all impossible. Now.

220
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:25,559
Speaker 5: What's impossible for us.

221
00:12:25,480 --> 00:12:29,399
Speaker 4: To be married just because you haven't much money? Well,

222
00:12:29,519 --> 00:12:32,360
I have more than enough for both of us, mine

223
00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:33,399
that my uncle left me.

224
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:36,480
Speaker 5: Oh, darling, darling.

225
00:12:36,399 --> 00:12:40,440
Speaker 4: If that's all it stands between us, kiss me and

226
00:12:40,519 --> 00:12:42,399
we'll be married as soon as it's decent.

227
00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:49,399
Speaker 1: No, sah, never will I give my consent. You will

228
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:52,639
never get either my daughter or her money when she's

229
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:56,399
twenty one. I know you're staying power. You'll never wait

230
00:12:56,440 --> 00:12:59,279
that long. You and my daughter will never be married.

231
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:03,159
I wouldn't be so sure of that, mister Childers. I

232
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:06,039
promise you that I'll give you cause to regret your

233
00:13:06,039 --> 00:13:08,480
attitude before all's done between us.

234
00:13:12,559 --> 00:13:15,559
Speaker 3: My darling, I love you so.

235
00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:22,759
Speaker 5: If this is the only way, then, but I'm not ashamed.

236
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:24,799
I'll be proud.

237
00:13:24,919 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 1: It's the only way. Can I promise you you won't

238
00:13:31,120 --> 00:13:31,600
be sorry?

239
00:13:32,279 --> 00:13:43,399
Speaker 4: How could I ever be sorry for loving you.

240
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 3: You poisonous scoundrel?

241
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 1: Is this true grace?

242
00:13:44,639 --> 00:13:44,919
Speaker 5: Yes?

243
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:49,200
Speaker 6: Father, you are going to have his baby?

244
00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:52,840
Speaker 5: How long I'm in my fourth month?

245
00:13:53,399 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 3: Lord?

246
00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:58,519
Speaker 1: No, it would seem, mister Childers, that, after all a

247
00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,600
marriage has been arranged.

248
00:14:06,919 --> 00:14:11,559
Speaker 2: Without scruples or conscience, anything is possible. It would seem

249
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:14,600
that Karl Markheim's statement is right. Let's see his score

250
00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:17,919
so far of the seven capital sins, he has committed

251
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:22,480
all but perhaps envy and gluttony, and he's only beginning

252
00:14:22,519 --> 00:14:27,399
to break the commandments? Can he reach his goal? I'll

253
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:29,279
be back shortly with that too.

254
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 1: A marriage was arranged, and.

255
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:46,759
Speaker 2: Young Grace Shoulders became Karl Markheim's willing bride. If some

256
00:14:46,919 --> 00:14:49,960
people thought it was a little close after the bishop's death,

257
00:14:50,639 --> 00:14:53,360
most people felt that Carl had waited long enough to

258
00:14:53,399 --> 00:14:57,080
take the step. The church was gracious also for a

259
00:14:57,120 --> 00:15:00,600
promised yearly contribution. They granted the use of the Markham

260
00:15:00,679 --> 00:15:02,120
House in grounds.

261
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 3: To people at large.

262
00:15:03,759 --> 00:15:07,120
Speaker 2: Only one thing was any different in this marriage, and

263
00:15:07,159 --> 00:15:10,600
that was that the newly weds did not take their honeymoon.

264
00:15:10,639 --> 00:15:15,519
Speaker 1: Immediately following the wedding. Harry's Grace uncle John in perfect

265
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:19,000
health she'll make a wonderful mother. I have something to

266
00:15:19,039 --> 00:15:24,240
say about your wife's pregnancy. Hmm, what's that? It's starting

267
00:15:24,279 --> 00:15:29,320
to show. Fortunately, however, there is a remedy. What are

268
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,279
you suggesting that you take your wife with an extended

269
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:35,480
honeymoon and you're a say, a year's is it? At

270
00:15:35,559 --> 00:15:38,799
least by the time you return, there'll be no embarrassment

271
00:15:38,799 --> 00:15:41,799
for anyone. It's impossible. I don't have any money. Your

272
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:44,840
wife would be glad to lend it to y'all, except

273
00:15:44,879 --> 00:15:47,679
the that stark shirt that she calls Papa has managed

274
00:15:47,720 --> 00:15:50,440
to sew it up legally, and the estate won't give

275
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:53,679
me in advance. Anyway, I'll arrange it somehow. I'll talk

276
00:15:53,759 --> 00:15:55,320
to mister Childers.

277
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,879
Speaker 3: Do you love that girl you married?

278
00:16:00,759 --> 00:16:04,000
Speaker 1: You're the only one I'll give the truth. You see

279
00:16:04,039 --> 00:16:08,720
my reflection in the mantelpiece mirror. With this reflection, I'm

280
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:11,600
happy to realize I'm breaking two commandments at once.

281
00:16:12,279 --> 00:16:13,320
Speaker 3: Oh what do you mean?

282
00:16:13,559 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 1: The first? In the second thou shalt have no other

283
00:16:15,919 --> 00:16:18,840
God but me, and thou shalt not make for yourself

284
00:16:18,840 --> 00:16:24,120
a graven image. There is my graven image in the mirror,

285
00:16:24,159 --> 00:16:29,919
Uncle John, myself. What I love first before any But

286
00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:31,559
what is it?

287
00:16:31,600 --> 00:16:32,039
Speaker 3: Howzy?

288
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:37,320
Speaker 1: I can't see him clearly? How who did you bring

289
00:16:37,360 --> 00:16:37,679
with you?

290
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:40,519
Speaker 3: I bring? What are you talking about?

291
00:16:40,559 --> 00:16:44,000
Speaker 1: Behind you? Over your shoulder? I I saw it in

292
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:44,759
the mirror. Face.

293
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:47,039
Speaker 3: There's no one behind me. We're all alone.

294
00:16:47,279 --> 00:16:50,879
Speaker 1: But when I turn to the mirror, I can't. I

295
00:16:50,919 --> 00:16:57,639
can't see what card nothing, There's nothing there. Now, I

296
00:16:57,679 --> 00:17:01,759
guess perhaps I've been too busy indulging the sixth of

297
00:17:01,799 --> 00:17:04,279
the seven Deadly sins cluck me in my case the

298
00:17:04,319 --> 00:17:10,839
bottle ah, leaving only envy. You know something, Carl, I

299
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:12,960
think you need this trip as much as that dear

300
00:17:13,079 --> 00:17:15,799
little wife of yours does. I think it might be

301
00:17:15,839 --> 00:17:19,240
the best hope for both of you. I'll talk to

302
00:17:19,319 --> 00:17:22,680
Childers and show them that without it, I'll be the

303
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:23,480
devil to pay.

304
00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:24,559
Speaker 3: For all of you.

305
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:32,759
Speaker 1: I respect your opinion, Doctor Devlin, and I applaud your

306
00:17:32,839 --> 00:17:35,720
belief that there is one decent streak somewhere in that

307
00:17:35,839 --> 00:17:39,680
young blackguard's makeup. That I'll do everything legally in my

308
00:17:39,759 --> 00:17:41,720
power to keep his hands off my daughter's money.

309
00:17:42,079 --> 00:17:43,799
Speaker 3: But it is her money.

310
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,759
Speaker 1: She's not of age, she's married and having a child.

311
00:17:46,839 --> 00:17:48,519
It seems to me age is irrelevant.

312
00:17:48,599 --> 00:17:52,519
Speaker 6: What is irrelevant is my husband, doctor Devlin. He's a

313
00:17:52,599 --> 00:17:56,000
sentry behind his times, which is exactly why he's going

314
00:17:56,039 --> 00:17:57,839
to release Grace his money and stay out of this.

315
00:17:58,079 --> 00:18:01,160
Speaker 1: Gertrude, I don't want you interfering a lot of things you.

316
00:18:01,240 --> 00:18:03,559
Speaker 6: Don't want, Winston, but I'm not going to stop to

317
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:06,000
listen to them because it might take weeks.

318
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 5: You don't want to look like a fool.

319
00:18:08,759 --> 00:18:11,079
Speaker 6: You don't want to be embarrassed among our acquaintances.

320
00:18:11,759 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 1: What are you talking about, Well, you would.

321
00:18:13,480 --> 00:18:14,680
Speaker 5: Call it your daughter's good name.

322
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:18,400
Speaker 6: I call it a spade, your good name, your reputation.

323
00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:21,279
Carl and Grace will have a child less than five

324
00:18:21,359 --> 00:18:24,599
months after they're married. If they have it here, you'll

325
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:27,799
be a laughing stock. If they return a year two

326
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:30,400
years from now from an extended trip on the continent,

327
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:33,599
who's to say what age the child is, and your

328
00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:37,559
reputation will be salvaged as well as your daughters.

329
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,119
Speaker 3: You have no choice.

330
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:47,119
Speaker 1: She had cut to the heart of the matter, and

331
00:18:47,279 --> 00:18:50,119
Kilda's had to give in. Grace got her money and

332
00:18:50,400 --> 00:18:54,400
Carl and see their honeymoon. If that's the proper name

333
00:18:54,559 --> 00:18:58,799
for it. I made a trip to France myself to

334
00:18:58,839 --> 00:19:01,680
deliver the baby, which I'm sad to say.

335
00:19:01,559 --> 00:19:05,279
Speaker 3: Was fruitless, as the child was born dead.

336
00:19:07,599 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 1: Oh no, now you mustn't take it so hard, Grace.

337
00:19:11,799 --> 00:19:13,160
Speaker 3: It was Nolan's fault.

338
00:19:14,799 --> 00:19:19,240
Speaker 1: Perhaps I can assure you medically it was sheer unfortunate accident.

339
00:19:19,759 --> 00:19:21,799
Speaker 3: It was better.

340
00:19:21,839 --> 00:19:26,799
Speaker 1: Actually this child didn't live. But that doesn't mean you

341
00:19:26,839 --> 00:19:28,839
can have as many more as you want.

342
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:30,759
Speaker 5: As I want.

343
00:19:31,519 --> 00:19:38,279
Speaker 4: Yes, the problem isn't me, doctor Deman, it's what Carl wants.

344
00:19:38,839 --> 00:19:41,559
Speaker 1: Well, Grace, after I've talked to him.

345
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:43,279
Speaker 5: Can you talk to him as the question?

346
00:19:44,319 --> 00:19:47,359
Speaker 4: Can anyone talk to him?

347
00:19:47,519 --> 00:19:51,559
Speaker 3: What is it? My dear, you can confide in me.

348
00:19:52,799 --> 00:19:57,319
Speaker 4: No, No, I won't say anything against my husband.

349
00:19:59,079 --> 00:20:00,799
Speaker 1: I still love God help me.

350
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:05,440
Speaker 5: He can't seem to help Carl, Lee.

351
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,880
Speaker 4: You you are the only one who can.

352
00:20:14,119 --> 00:20:17,799
Speaker 1: It was a sordid, sickening tale I learned from acquaintances

353
00:20:17,799 --> 00:20:21,480
and friends that Grace had made before I faced Karl himself.

354
00:20:22,279 --> 00:20:24,079
In the last months of her pregnancy. He seemed to

355
00:20:24,079 --> 00:20:27,200
have gone bassuk, leaving her for days at the time,

356
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:30,680
staggering home only to sober up, leaving again for his

357
00:20:31,480 --> 00:20:34,599
women who were legion. His wine glass, which was always

358
00:20:34,599 --> 00:20:38,920
in his hand, his gambling, which was prodigious and disastrous.

359
00:20:40,440 --> 00:20:43,720
And yet when I met him again to Wildwood Looks,

360
00:20:44,559 --> 00:20:49,119
he seemed to thrive on his degeneracy. I found him

361
00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:51,480
at a bar, sitting on a stool facing the mirror,

362
00:20:52,079 --> 00:20:53,640
a glass of cognac in hand.

363
00:20:56,720 --> 00:20:58,599
Speaker 3: What are you doing here, Karl, no one.

364
00:20:58,559 --> 00:21:02,519
Speaker 1: Else, Uncle John, celebrating the births of a new era,

365
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:07,319
Karl Markheim, Father, don't tell me the blessant defense has arrived.

366
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 3: Your baby was born.

367
00:21:11,319 --> 00:21:17,680
Speaker 1: Dead, Thank God, What a rash. There goes another commandment,

368
00:21:17,759 --> 00:21:20,960
thou shalt not take the name of the Lord in vain? Third,

369
00:21:21,039 --> 00:21:24,359
isn't it? And today Sunday? So that does away with

370
00:21:24,559 --> 00:21:27,519
number four? Are you mad drinking at a bar while

371
00:21:27,519 --> 00:21:29,200
your wife lies morning in the hospital.

372
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:30,880
Speaker 3: Morning You're lost, child?

373
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:35,160
Speaker 1: And more than that, I expect lost love that never was.

374
00:21:36,200 --> 00:21:39,440
But there is enough more lost. I'm proke, Uncle John,

375
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:46,359
cleaned up. No love, no child, no money. You've gone

376
00:21:46,400 --> 00:21:50,359
through all Drace's money in less than six months. Wine

377
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:54,319
women in the little clicking ball. At least you still

378
00:21:54,319 --> 00:21:58,000
have your thousand a year. Oh no, no, no, ha

379
00:21:57,880 --> 00:22:04,039
ha ha, that's mortgage. Very well, let's not discuss it here.

380
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:04,920
Speaker 5: Come.

381
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,480
Speaker 1: We'll we'll get to the hospital and pick up Grayson.

382
00:22:07,559 --> 00:22:09,599
I'll see that all of you get home. Wait a minute,

383
00:22:09,920 --> 00:22:12,799
what is it now? Do you see between us and

384
00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:18,680
behind us in the mirror. He's waiting, He's always waiting.

385
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:21,079
He will not let me go.

386
00:22:22,319 --> 00:22:23,920
Speaker 3: There's no one there.

387
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:27,599
Speaker 1: Carl, when you turn around. But I haven't the courage

388
00:22:27,599 --> 00:22:31,400
for that anymore. In case he might be all right,

389
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:32,039
then I'll.

390
00:22:31,839 --> 00:22:36,440
Speaker 3: Prove it to you. I'll turn you there. Do you

391
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:37,400
see anyone.

392
00:22:39,039 --> 00:22:39,480
Speaker 1: Now?

393
00:22:40,519 --> 00:22:41,599
Speaker 3: And let's be on our way.

394
00:22:46,960 --> 00:22:51,119
Speaker 1: I was desperately worried about Carl's course, But in a

395
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,960
few days before we left Francie, he seemed to try

396
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:58,759
out satisfactorily. Grays and he had a tearful reunion, and

397
00:22:58,839 --> 00:23:01,400
without return to London, appear to take hold of himself.

398
00:23:02,519 --> 00:23:06,400
Grace and he seemed to have found something working arrangement,

399
00:23:06,480 --> 00:23:12,799
and I hesitated to interfere further. If only I hadn't

400
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:15,519
not one penny.

401
00:23:15,279 --> 00:23:18,599
Speaker 6: But Winston, if our daughter is actually starved.

402
00:23:18,279 --> 00:23:19,880
Speaker 1: She can come home where she belongs.

403
00:23:20,160 --> 00:23:23,160
Speaker 4: I love him, and we are not all that helpless

404
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:25,480
really without money?

405
00:23:25,799 --> 00:23:27,559
Speaker 3: What do you intend to live on? Mark?

406
00:23:27,599 --> 00:23:30,440
Speaker 1: I'm's wits. They haven't been very successful so far.

407
00:23:30,839 --> 00:23:32,559
Speaker 5: That period of his life is past.

408
00:23:33,400 --> 00:23:39,599
Speaker 4: He is working now at what he's investing without money.

409
00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:41,359
Speaker 3: That's quite a trick.

410
00:23:41,759 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 5: But will you raise the money? He's assured me of that.

411
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:46,759
Speaker 3: How well?

412
00:23:46,599 --> 00:23:49,960
Speaker 5: We still have the house, that the furniture. We can

413
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:51,720
sell those and get smaller quarters.

414
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:56,000
Speaker 3: Sell the house and the Gertrude.

415
00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:59,279
Speaker 5: Yes, Winston, perhaps.

416
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:04,079
Speaker 1: I am too hard on Markheim. Money I can't give him,

417
00:24:04,079 --> 00:24:06,480
but maybe I can put him in the way of

418
00:24:06,519 --> 00:24:10,039
being very rich. Where is he, Grace.

419
00:24:10,440 --> 00:24:12,720
Speaker 5: Down downstairs in the carriage.

420
00:24:14,079 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 1: Tell him I'll talk with him.

421
00:24:15,920 --> 00:24:20,920
Speaker 6: Yes, Winston, what are you up to?

422
00:24:21,759 --> 00:24:24,240
Speaker 1: What I'm up to is none of your business? Get Ruden.

423
00:24:31,400 --> 00:24:33,680
I won't pretend to have any love for you. Mark,

424
00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,799
I'm and I have no money to lend you, but

425
00:24:36,880 --> 00:24:39,960
for my daughter's sake, I will allow you this one

426
00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:45,279
last chance. The name of the stock, Southern Rhodesian Rand.

427
00:24:46,039 --> 00:24:48,519
And you see how much of it I'm holding. I've

428
00:24:48,559 --> 00:24:52,559
bought every share I could afford. And you're sure it's

429
00:24:52,559 --> 00:24:58,079
a bonanza, Mark, I'm I'm their lawyer. They've discovered the

430
00:24:58,160 --> 00:25:01,519
greatest mother load of gold since the comstock in America.

431
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:03,160
Speaker 3: Oh, it'll make millionaires of.

432
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:07,640
Speaker 1: Us is there stock available? Is still I can arrange

433
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:12,039
that for you through my broker, strictly cash. After Monday,

434
00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:14,480
when the news will break, there won't be a share

435
00:25:14,559 --> 00:25:19,359
left you three days left. Remember good Friday, the exchange

436
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:21,960
will be closed. I'll have the money before then, by

437
00:25:22,039 --> 00:25:30,839
hook or by crook. Good morning, mister Ross.

438
00:25:31,920 --> 00:25:37,519
Speaker 3: Who is that? Oh it's you Markim. Well, what is

439
00:25:37,559 --> 00:25:38,319
it this time?

440
00:25:38,839 --> 00:25:42,440
Speaker 1: The usual, my frugal and parsimonious friend. I am in

441
00:25:42,559 --> 00:25:45,799
need of cash only for a matter of days. However

442
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:49,119
of days hmm?

443
00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:51,480
Speaker 3: Then what is the security?

444
00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:55,559
Speaker 1: The entire contents of my mansion a treasure house?

445
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 3: What is a few days?

446
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:02,240
Speaker 1: You shall have it back the Monday after Easter Sunday.

447
00:26:04,119 --> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 3: It can do no harm to look.

448
00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:10,680
Speaker 1: I should be at your house by two this afternoon.

449
00:26:10,839 --> 00:26:15,440
Then we have an agreement. Is offly softly, first, lip

450
00:26:15,759 --> 00:26:17,359
lip the cat out of the bank.

451
00:26:18,279 --> 00:26:21,720
Speaker 3: I do not intend to buy a pig in a poke.

452
00:26:26,079 --> 00:26:26,359
Speaker 5: Corl.

453
00:26:26,799 --> 00:26:32,440
Speaker 1: Yes, Grace, did you get to yes? Yes? Yes, five

454
00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,920
thousand shares at two pounds apiece. By Monday two is

455
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:40,200
going to be past one hundred pounds in climbing. We're rich, Grace, rich,

456
00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:41,759
for the rest.

457
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:46,000
Speaker 4: Of our love I'm so glad, particularly since it's all

458
00:26:46,160 --> 00:26:47,039
thanks to Papa.

459
00:26:47,319 --> 00:26:50,720
Speaker 1: No, thanks for me, It was for you. He did it.

460
00:26:51,039 --> 00:26:51,960
If this stock.

461
00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:54,200
Speaker 5: Should fail me, pretty who not as Papa?

462
00:26:54,319 --> 00:26:57,640
Speaker 1: Yes, thank heaven, I have that security. He's holding as

463
00:26:57,720 --> 00:26:59,039
much of it as I am.

464
00:26:59,279 --> 00:27:01,160
Speaker 5: Then try to give and forget it.

465
00:27:01,799 --> 00:27:04,759
Speaker 4: Carl, Come to the country with us for an old

466
00:27:04,799 --> 00:27:05,480
fashioned Easter.

467
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:08,640
Speaker 5: Let's be a real family at last.

468
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:11,839
Speaker 1: No, damnit, I I couldn't stomach the whole weekend. I'll

469
00:27:11,839 --> 00:27:14,480
make a bargain. You go up tomorrow with them, and

470
00:27:14,599 --> 00:27:17,519
I'll join you on Sunday. I am quite sure one

471
00:27:17,599 --> 00:27:20,039
day will be all your father and I can stand

472
00:27:20,039 --> 00:27:20,640
of each other.

473
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:32,920
Speaker 5: Carl, Oh, Carl, thank god I found you at home.

474
00:27:34,039 --> 00:27:37,799
Speaker 1: Oh my, poor god, Gertrude, what is it. Something happened

475
00:27:37,799 --> 00:27:38,119
to Grace?

476
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:41,200
Speaker 6: No, no, no, I've left the country, but I had

477
00:27:41,200 --> 00:27:43,200
to see you the first moment he was gone.

478
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:44,480
Speaker 3: The stock.

479
00:27:45,519 --> 00:27:46,160
Speaker 1: Is it true?

480
00:27:46,240 --> 00:27:46,720
Speaker 5: You bought it?

481
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:48,200
Speaker 1: Ah? Yes? Yes?

482
00:27:48,759 --> 00:27:49,680
Speaker 3: Oh lord, what are you.

483
00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:52,839
Speaker 5: Going to do? He's ruined you. The stock you bought

484
00:27:52,920 --> 00:27:53,200
was his.

485
00:27:53,839 --> 00:27:56,559
Speaker 6: He swindled you into buying it.

486
00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:57,759
Speaker 1: Swindled.

487
00:27:57,960 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 5: Yes, the company is bank.

488
00:28:00,759 --> 00:28:04,000
Speaker 6: Those certificates you hold are not worth the paper there retina.

489
00:28:13,319 --> 00:28:18,559
Speaker 2: For a moment, Marcheim stares at Gertrude in utter incredulity. Then,

490
00:28:18,599 --> 00:28:21,160
as he turns in a fury to slam his fist

491
00:28:21,240 --> 00:28:24,920
against the wall, there in the hall mirror he sees

492
00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:29,680
his reflection and Gertrude's, and behind them, smiling with an

493
00:28:29,759 --> 00:28:33,640
almost satanic glee, the face of the man who taunts

494
00:28:33,799 --> 00:28:49,759
and haunts him. I'll return shortly with Act three. At

495
00:28:49,759 --> 00:28:53,799
the sight of that tantalizing mirror image, his eyes misted

496
00:28:53,839 --> 00:28:58,200
by the red blood of frustrated fury, Karl Markheim whirls

497
00:28:58,279 --> 00:29:02,759
back towards Gertrude, frozen into immobility at the door, hands

498
00:29:02,799 --> 00:29:05,200
in front of him, fingers curled as if to choke

499
00:29:05,319 --> 00:29:09,160
and strangle. He moves toward her until suddenly she cries out.

500
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 1: What what, oh, how it's you. For a moment I thought, no,

501
00:29:18,440 --> 00:29:25,119
now he's gone again. My numbosis doesn't matter. Come, come,

502
00:29:25,240 --> 00:29:26,599
let's jo inside. I need to drink.

503
00:29:28,039 --> 00:29:30,599
Speaker 6: For a moment, I thought you were going to strangle me,

504
00:29:31,559 --> 00:29:32,799
not him.

505
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:39,519
Speaker 1: Winston humm who oh him? No? No? Not well, if

506
00:29:39,559 --> 00:29:41,319
he were here, and if what you say is true,

507
00:29:41,319 --> 00:29:43,240
I might have it's true.

508
00:29:44,039 --> 00:29:48,599
Speaker 6: You can pour me a drink too. I almost wish

509
00:29:48,680 --> 00:29:49,480
he had been here.

510
00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:54,480
Speaker 1: Here's your drink, thank you to oblivion. Strangling's too good

511
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:57,359
for him. If you will excuse the expression, I'll.

512
00:29:57,160 --> 00:30:01,759
Speaker 6: Even drink to it. I'm the one who's had to

513
00:30:01,759 --> 00:30:06,079
live within the last twenty five years, Karl, is there

514
00:30:06,079 --> 00:30:06,960
nothing You can do.

515
00:30:08,279 --> 00:30:13,519
Speaker 1: Nothing except try to devise a way to hit him

516
00:30:13,519 --> 00:30:17,119
where it hurts for the longest time possible.

517
00:30:18,759 --> 00:30:24,880
Speaker 6: I don't no way, Oh no, no, no, I couldn't

518
00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:26,680
do that to Grace, is my daughter.

519
00:30:26,759 --> 00:30:29,279
Speaker 1: No you can do to Grace that I haven't done already,

520
00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:33,279
or that I'm not now committed to do. I don't

521
00:30:33,319 --> 00:30:36,119
own any of this furniture or the house I pledged.

522
00:30:36,839 --> 00:30:42,119
I'll land in jail now. I am a thief. That's

523
00:30:42,240 --> 00:30:45,759
number eight. I've come pretty close to fulfilling my prophecy.

524
00:30:46,319 --> 00:30:47,119
Speaker 3: What prophecy?

525
00:30:47,880 --> 00:30:48,759
Speaker 5: What is number eight?

526
00:30:49,079 --> 00:30:53,480
Speaker 1: Number eight? Is thouself not steel? The other doesn't matter.

527
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 6: You don't love Gray, do you?

528
00:30:55,920 --> 00:30:56,640
Speaker 3: You never had?

529
00:30:56,759 --> 00:31:00,759
Speaker 1: That's right. Even before this, I had nothing left to

530
00:31:00,839 --> 00:31:03,440
offer her. It would have been kinder if I could

531
00:31:03,440 --> 00:31:05,000
have found some way to kill her love for me.

532
00:31:05,079 --> 00:31:06,559
But apparently I can't.

533
00:31:07,880 --> 00:31:15,279
Speaker 6: Give me another drink All right, you You used to

534
00:31:15,359 --> 00:31:19,000
consider me a very good looking woman. Was that one

535
00:31:19,039 --> 00:31:19,799
of your lies?

536
00:31:20,039 --> 00:31:21,759
Speaker 3: Or did you mean it?

537
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:22,839
Speaker 1: Oh?

538
00:31:23,799 --> 00:31:27,680
Speaker 6: That I meant, which springs up the subject of number nine.

539
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:32,920
What thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife?

540
00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:34,960
Speaker 3: Or have you broken that drink?

541
00:31:35,240 --> 00:31:39,680
Speaker 1: No? Nor, as it happens, have I broken number seven?

542
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 3: Adultery?

543
00:31:42,559 --> 00:31:44,880
Speaker 6: It's the first thought that ever crossed my mind when

544
00:31:44,920 --> 00:31:45,759
I first met you.

545
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:48,640
Speaker 1: It was in mind too.

546
00:31:50,319 --> 00:31:54,160
Speaker 6: Grace and Winston are already in the country. I'm not

547
00:31:54,279 --> 00:31:59,640
driving up for tomorrow with doctor Devlin. The one single

548
00:31:59,759 --> 00:32:03,759
thing that would most devastate Winston is to be couckled.

549
00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:10,079
Grisi never know, but depend on it. I would let

550
00:32:10,160 --> 00:32:10,559
him know.

551
00:32:11,519 --> 00:32:16,400
Speaker 1: I heaven got it. It's almost worth it all at

552
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:25,400
this moment, What is it, Papa?

553
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:26,839
Speaker 3: The fridge is time?

554
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:30,799
Speaker 1: Those damn spring rain See, he can't make it before dark.

555
00:32:30,839 --> 00:32:32,599
We'll have to go back, Oh boy.

556
00:32:32,839 --> 00:32:36,759
Speaker 4: Oh yes, as long as we won't be at Grandfather's

557
00:32:36,759 --> 00:32:40,319
tonight and Mama's with Aunt Tilda, let's drive straight to

558
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:40,920
my house.

559
00:32:41,519 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 5: You can spend the night and I'll make supper for

560
00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:43,960
all of us.

561
00:32:44,480 --> 00:32:48,319
Speaker 1: I don't think your husband would welcome my presence oh nonsense.

562
00:32:49,119 --> 00:32:50,279
Speaker 5: Now that you've made him red.

563
00:32:51,079 --> 00:32:52,200
Speaker 3: That hasn't happened yet.

564
00:32:52,279 --> 00:32:54,079
Speaker 5: Oh, but it's going to by Monday.

565
00:32:54,319 --> 00:32:57,079
Speaker 1: Yes, Monday is going to be a red letter day

566
00:32:57,079 --> 00:33:02,599
for mister Carl. Marc, I am all right, it's almost dark.

567
00:33:02,839 --> 00:33:03,599
I'd better hurry.

568
00:33:09,160 --> 00:33:12,799
Speaker 4: I can't understand where Karl could be. Oh, thank you

569
00:33:12,839 --> 00:33:15,119
for carrying up my bag, Papa. I'll just put it

570
00:33:15,160 --> 00:33:18,240
on my bed, good lord.

571
00:33:19,880 --> 00:33:27,119
Speaker 1: Carl. No, well, Caturn, it seems you won't have to

572
00:33:27,240 --> 00:33:36,000
tell your husband. After all, I'd never believed it, Carl,

573
00:33:36,559 --> 00:33:39,160
I could believe every rotten thing about you.

574
00:33:39,240 --> 00:33:41,279
Speaker 3: But this why you've.

575
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:43,160
Speaker 1: Broken trace his heart and destroyed the marriage of my

576
00:33:43,279 --> 00:33:45,880
friend and your father. I broke Grace's heart a long

577
00:33:45,960 --> 00:33:49,920
time ago. She's lucky to be free at last. As

578
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:53,119
for your friend and my father is and Viertrude told

579
00:33:53,200 --> 00:33:55,839
me what he'd done to you, and I was ready

580
00:33:55,839 --> 00:34:00,680
to bail you out until this last unconscionable act. And

581
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:02,519
I want you to know that I'm through with you forever.

582
00:34:03,079 --> 00:34:06,119
You have lost the last friend you have except one

583
00:34:06,319 --> 00:34:11,480
who my shadow, whoever he is. Well, Uncle John, there's

584
00:34:11,480 --> 00:34:13,519
one thing you have to say for me. I keep

585
00:34:13,559 --> 00:34:16,760
my word. Oh, No, I sent a commit every deadly

586
00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:19,800
sin and break every holy commandment. I've only one to go,

587
00:34:20,719 --> 00:34:32,320
and then I'll take care of tomorrow. All right, all right,

588
00:34:32,440 --> 00:34:40,440
I'm coming, I'm coming. I must have known you, Mark,

589
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:45,400
I'm who else will have the goal? Easter Sunday will

590
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:49,519
come in, come in. You know I'm alone, and that

591
00:34:49,639 --> 00:34:53,079
I make a point of refusing business on a holiday.

592
00:34:53,199 --> 00:34:56,719
I come to buy, not to sell. I seek an

593
00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:59,800
Easter present for a lady, which I must present tonight,

594
00:35:01,519 --> 00:35:04,000
so by an old customer.

595
00:35:04,119 --> 00:35:09,119
Speaker 3: So let's see. Now, here's a pretty thing.

596
00:35:09,239 --> 00:35:13,920
Speaker 1: This a hand glass fifteen centuries Yeah, how clear?

597
00:35:13,960 --> 00:35:15,400
Speaker 3: It mirrors too clear?

598
00:35:16,079 --> 00:35:18,199
Speaker 1: I see him all too plain. Look here do you

599
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:19,880
see him? Hooray?

600
00:35:20,559 --> 00:35:21,760
Speaker 3: I see my own reflection.

601
00:35:22,119 --> 00:35:27,280
Speaker 1: Let me look again. No, there he still is by

602
00:35:27,559 --> 00:35:31,079
God to be rid of him at last. Now there's

603
00:35:31,159 --> 00:35:36,320
an unkind, unseemly thing to do to destroy so wantonly

604
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:43,360
and here is an even unkinder. You save me? Why?

605
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:46,840
Because I came here to complete an old vow and

606
00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:48,840
start a new life. Where do you keep your money?

607
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:49,599
Speaker 3: Buddy?

608
00:35:50,320 --> 00:36:00,440
Speaker 1: No help me, I'm dying. Die. Then I picked up

609
00:36:00,480 --> 00:36:03,320
the guttering campbell. I wanted to flee to the safety

610
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:05,559
of my bed. But I've done the deed and must

611
00:36:05,559 --> 00:36:08,920
reap the prophet. I moved about, pocketing whatever I could

612
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:11,559
find a value, all the time, my mind racing telling

613
00:36:11,639 --> 00:36:15,079
me I should have chosen a quiet hour, arranged an alibi.

614
00:36:15,599 --> 00:36:17,320
Not of he was a knife that belonged to me.

615
00:36:18,679 --> 00:36:21,840
That made me moved towards the corpse to pull it free.

616
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:25,800
And then I saw the key. There was money, much money,

617
00:36:26,440 --> 00:36:29,159
enough money to save me, hidden somewhere in this house.

618
00:36:30,079 --> 00:36:36,880
I must find it. Perhaps an hour later I was

619
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:42,079
upstairs ramsacking the place desperately when the voice spoke, you

620
00:36:42,159 --> 00:36:46,599
are looking for the money, I believe. I whirled. It

621
00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:50,599
was see me, my mirror heart, at last, face to

622
00:36:50,639 --> 00:36:54,320
face in life. He seemed commonplace enough, and his voice

623
00:36:54,400 --> 00:36:58,039
was kind and gentle. I tried to answer, but none

624
00:36:58,079 --> 00:37:02,760
would come. You know you have long been a favorite

625
00:37:02,760 --> 00:37:06,360
of mine. I have long observed you as you will wear,

626
00:37:07,639 --> 00:37:12,360
and often sought to help you. What are you the devil?

627
00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:16,159
What I may be cannot affect the service I propose

628
00:37:16,239 --> 00:37:20,400
to render you. No, never, not by you. You do

629
00:37:20,480 --> 00:37:24,079
not know me yet, Oh I know you, I know

630
00:37:24,360 --> 00:37:28,039
you to the soul know me. How can you know me?

631
00:37:29,039 --> 00:37:31,719
My life is a travesty and a slander on myself.

632
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:34,679
I've lived to belie my own nature as all men do,

633
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:41,960
very feelingly expressed. But time flies. Shall I help you,

634
00:37:42,199 --> 00:37:45,679
I who know all? Shall I tell you where to

635
00:37:45,719 --> 00:37:48,320
find the money? For what price?

636
00:37:48,519 --> 00:37:51,840
Speaker 3: You know? I offer you? The service has an easter gift?

637
00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:58,559
Speaker 1: No, no, thank you. I take nothing directly at your hands.

638
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:03,960
I seem incredulous from all I've done, but I still

639
00:38:05,199 --> 00:38:08,840
cannot commit myself to help. Why must you doubt that

640
00:38:08,880 --> 00:38:12,360
I have any hearts? I was once an angel too.

641
00:38:12,519 --> 00:38:17,880
You must remember the devil? Why must all men mistake

642
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:21,000
my purpose? I am here to try you, not to

643
00:38:21,199 --> 00:38:24,639
enslave you and drag you down into the pit. That's

644
00:38:24,679 --> 00:38:29,599
not necessary in my case. I dragged myself down because.

645
00:38:29,320 --> 00:38:31,000
Speaker 3: The devil is an illusion.

646
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:36,400
Speaker 1: I am all men, I dwell in all. It is

647
00:38:36,440 --> 00:38:37,199
you who seek me?

648
00:38:37,440 --> 00:38:37,920
Speaker 3: Not are you?

649
00:38:40,199 --> 00:38:40,480
Speaker 1: Now?

650
00:38:41,960 --> 00:38:43,639
Speaker 3: Shall I show you the money.

651
00:38:43,480 --> 00:38:52,039
Speaker 1: And mercy forgiveness salvation? Have you ever tried or asked

652
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:56,400
for the maid? She returned? Will that need be no

653
00:38:56,440 --> 00:38:58,679
impossible fence to climb? You will open the door.

654
00:38:58,760 --> 00:38:59,719
Speaker 3: Tell her what you are, the.

655
00:38:59,760 --> 00:39:02,639
Speaker 1: Doctor who came because her master was taken idle quite suddenly,

656
00:39:03,679 --> 00:39:06,000
once you have the girl inside and the door closed

657
00:39:06,039 --> 00:39:08,920
with the same dexterity as you dispatched the old man,

658
00:39:09,079 --> 00:39:13,400
you dispatch her, and then you have the rest of

659
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:16,000
the day and night to ransack the house for the money.

660
00:39:17,559 --> 00:39:20,159
If you do not wish my help. This crime was

661
00:39:20,199 --> 00:39:20,920
to be my last.

662
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:21,320
Speaker 3: Today.

663
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:24,599
Speaker 1: Out of this deed, I meant to pluck both warning

664
00:39:24,719 --> 00:39:28,119
and riches and a fresh resolve to be my real self.

665
00:39:28,360 --> 00:39:32,440
Your life hangs trembling in the scales. You cannot keep

666
00:39:32,440 --> 00:39:35,639
her waiting, or she will rouse the whole neighborhood up,

667
00:39:35,800 --> 00:39:40,199
my friend, and act as a man in a dream,

668
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:43,639
I passed down the stairs, my hand on the dagger

669
00:39:43,719 --> 00:39:46,000
helt beneath my cloak. For a moment I stopped by

670
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:50,039
the door to look in a large Venetian glass. It

671
00:39:50,159 --> 00:39:59,000
reflects me, Karl Markheim. Alone alone, I stand transfit. And

672
00:39:59,039 --> 00:40:02,480
then the bell once more breaks out into an impatient clamor.

673
00:40:07,639 --> 00:40:13,719
You had better go for the place, miss, I have

674
00:40:14,199 --> 00:40:23,599
just murdered your master. The devil is an illusion.

675
00:40:24,440 --> 00:40:27,320
Speaker 2: He lives in all of us, and no one can

676
00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:32,119
conquer him. What ourselves. This is a lesson, Karl Markhim

677
00:40:32,159 --> 00:40:35,400
took a long and bitter road to learn, but then

678
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:38,159
salvation is never bought easily.

679
00:40:39,119 --> 00:40:40,039
Speaker 3: I'll be back shortly.

680
00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:43,800
Speaker 8: I think Farm is there with a discount for drivers

681
00:40:43,840 --> 00:40:47,840
fifty and older. Millions of drivers fifty and older are

682
00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:49,199
saving important.

683
00:40:48,760 --> 00:40:50,280
Speaker 5: Money with a State Farm discount.

722
00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:55,639
Speaker 2: So in the end, we return to our original question,

723
00:42:56,400 --> 00:42:59,000
is there any such thing as a man who is

724
00:42:59,119 --> 00:43:04,920
all evil without a single saving grace. Markim came close,

725
00:43:05,519 --> 00:43:07,840
but in the end he reached as all of us

726
00:43:08,039 --> 00:43:13,239
for salvation, for once not asking, but offering himself as

727
00:43:13,280 --> 00:43:16,920
sacrifice to the mercy of God or perhaps the devil

728
00:43:16,960 --> 00:43:20,519
within him. So with a lift of hope we end

729
00:43:20,519 --> 00:43:24,000
our tale. The image of God dwells within us too.

730
00:43:24,400 --> 00:43:27,360
There is some small kernel of good, at least in

731
00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:31,639
all of us. Our cast included Kevin McCarthy, Grace Matthews,

732
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:36,119
Rosemary Rice, Guy Sirel, and Ian Martin. The entire production

733
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:42,840
was under the direction of Hyman Brown. You're listening to

734
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:46,400
an early steam locomotive, a reminder of when it took

735
00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:49,800
forever to cross this country and when people with epilepsy

736
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:52,920
had little hope of a normal life. Today we use

737
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:57,199
modern transportation, but many Americans still cling to outdated ideas

738
00:43:57,239 --> 00:44:01,760
about epilepsy, ideas that haven't kept up with progress.

739
00:44:01,800 --> 00:44:03,800
Speaker 3: A progress report on epilepsy.

740
00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:07,199
Speaker 2: One of the most dramatic advances of recent years, has

741
00:44:07,239 --> 00:44:07,480
been in
