Speaker 3: The scene is a suburban community called appropriately Park Pleasant,

16
00:01:36,159 --> 00:01:40,000
for that's exactly what it is. Pleasant and park like

17
00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:44,760
and very serene, a haven for the families of busy

18
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:50,040
city executives like Dave Farmer. Dave is a lucky young man.

19
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:54,280
He has a good job. He's a beautiful young wife

20
00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,719
named Connie. He has a daughter who promises to grow

21
00:01:57,799 --> 00:02:02,519
up looking just like her, But little Susan has plenty

22
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:06,920
of time for that. She's only five years old. The

23
00:02:07,079 --> 00:02:13,080
day is Monday. The time is eight fifteen am. The

24
00:02:13,199 --> 00:02:17,919
day is just beginning, so is the nightmare.

25
00:02:19,479 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 5: Hey, will you please hurry up? Stand's gonna drive me

26
00:02:22,479 --> 00:02:23,599
crazy with that horn.

27
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:24,919
Speaker 1: I'm coming, I'm coming.

28
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 5: I wish you wouldn't fly down those stairs.

29
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:28,960
Speaker 1: I'm always afraid.

30
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:29,479
Speaker 6: Your break your neck.

31
00:02:29,719 --> 00:02:32,599
Speaker 1: Listen at my neck. That's the problem. I can't see

32
00:02:32,639 --> 00:02:34,439
the time I tie around it this morning.

33
00:02:34,759 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 6: It's no wonder with Dan blowing his horn that way.

34
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:38,400
What's the big hurry?

35
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,159
Speaker 1: It's on a quarter past. He's got to be in

36
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:41,000
court this morning.

37
00:02:41,039 --> 00:02:43,599
Speaker 5: Well that's his problem. You don't have to be at

00:02:43,599 --> 00:02:46,879
work until nine. And I insist that you had some breakfast.

39
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: I really don't have time money, Yes you do.

40
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 5: Look, the eggs are all made, the toast is halfway

42
00:02:53,319 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: You haven't plugged it in?

43
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:56,159
Speaker 6: Oh my, has Susan again?

44
00:02:56,479 --> 00:02:58,520
Speaker 5: She insists on pulling plugs out of the wall.

45
00:02:58,759 --> 00:03:00,919
Speaker 1: You better keep her away from wires and stuff.

46
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:02,960
Speaker 3: She would electrocute herself anyway.

47
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:03,960
Speaker 6: Here the eggs.

48
00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:06,199

00:08:22,199 --> 00:08:27,079
He's talking so strangely. Anyway, listen about the city. Thursday

184
00:09:10,519 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 7: I mean the way I felt driving over here.

00:09:33,519 --> 00:09:35,039

00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 1: You know, what runin?

249
00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:46,159
it would be best if you came back home.

250
00:12:46,559 --> 00:12:49,000
Speaker 1: I'm not doing anything until you tell me what happened.

251
00:12:49,039 --> 00:12:52,480

Speaker 1: Oh Lord, Connie, Susie, how bad? What's going on? For

256
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,960
Pete's sake, I want to know what happened. I want

257
00:13:10,039 --> 00:13:12,440
to know how they were hurt and how badly.

258
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:15,639
Speaker 9: I hate to tell you, mister Farmer, I mean, just

259
00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:16,840
like this over the fall.

260
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 1: Damn, you'll tell me they're dead.

261
00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:22,799
Speaker 9: All of them are dead, mister Farmer.

262
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 3: It's a strange place to find yourself in the middle

263
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:38,360
of a nightmare, a highway crowded with cars and trucks,

264
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:42,480
the bright midwinter sun shining in your eyes, hearing a

265
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:46,159
disembodied voice telling you that everything you cared for in.

266
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 1: Life is gone, vanished in one bloody.

267
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:55,799
Speaker 3: Instant, one terrible moment of madness, one meaningless action. But

268
00:13:56,039 --> 00:14:00,440
this nightmare isn't over for Dave Farmer, or for a

269
00:14:00,559 --> 00:14:04,279
young man named Vernon White. We'll be back in just

270
00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:21,799
a moment. With that two, the scene changes We are

271
00:14:21,919 --> 00:14:25,480
no longer in the quiet suburb of Park Pleasant. We

272
00:14:25,559 --> 00:14:29,960
are in a large, high ceiling room flanked by American flags,

273
00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:32,799
solemn with the traditions.

274
00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:33,799
Speaker 7: Of American justice.

275
00:14:34,759 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 1: This is a courtroom.

276
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:41,159
Speaker 3: Seated in the front row is David Farmer. Beside him

277
00:14:41,279 --> 00:14:46,039
sits his friends Stan, his sister in law Paula. His

278
00:14:46,240 --> 00:14:51,559
face is ashen, haunted and at the defense table, his

279
00:14:51,759 --> 00:14:56,080
hair neatly combed and brushed, his cheeks rosy, wearing his

280
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:59,000
best blue suit, looking very much like.

281
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:04,799
Speaker 1: The all American bo boy. It's Vernon White killer, your honor, Yes,

282
00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:05,799
mister Waterman.

283
00:15:06,159 --> 00:15:10,440
Speaker 3: The defense says, no objection to these photographs being submitted

284
00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:13,600
to the jury. But these proceedings have been delayed long

285
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:17,799
enough very well. Is the prosecution ready to proceed, Yes,

286
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:22,039
your honor, Then please continue your examination of the witness. Yes,

287
00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:28,279
your honor, Patron mcleary, you've seen these photographs we've shown

288
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:32,159
the jury, Yes, sir. Is it an accurate representation of

289
00:15:32,279 --> 00:15:36,240
the scene you discovered that morning at the Farmer house.

290
00:15:36,440 --> 00:15:37,919
Speaker 1: Yes, sir, that's what I've found.

291
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:42,399
Speaker 3: A young woman brutally assaulted, strangled to death.

292
00:15:42,519 --> 00:15:45,519
Speaker 1: Yes, sir. Evidence of a struggle, yes, sir.

293
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 3: A young wife and mother slain in her own kitchen,

294
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:54,480
and a child five years old slain just as horrible,

295
00:15:54,559 --> 00:15:58,679
your honor, May I object to the prosecutions use of

296
00:15:58,799 --> 00:15:59,919
such emotional term.

297
00:16:00,480 --> 00:16:03,279
Speaker 1: I begged the defense attorney's pardon.

298
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:04,279
Speaker 7: You're quite right.

299
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:09,159
Speaker 3: One hardly needs words like brutal and horrible to describe

300
00:16:09,399 --> 00:16:10,039
this crime.

301
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 1: The facts speak for themselves.

302
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:19,799
Speaker 3: Atron McLevy, did you also see several boxes of groceries

303
00:16:20,039 --> 00:16:20,879
in that kitchen?

304
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 1: Yes, sir. About the four boxes, you.

305
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 3: Concluded that the delivery had been made that morning, Yes, sir,

306
00:16:28,759 --> 00:16:32,240
the perishables hadn't been put away, and that led you

307
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:36,679
to make inquiries in the neighborhood about the arrival of

308
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:40,759
the grocery truck. Yes, sir, we learned that the truck

309
00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,840
from the park Pleasant Supermarket had been there and left,

310
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:49,200
and you sought out the delivery boy, or should I

311
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:54,200
say the delivery man, Yes, sir, I interrogated in mister

312
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:57,720
Vernon White, say and what did he tell you? He

313
00:16:57,879 --> 00:17:03,759
apologized for what he apologized for killing missus.

314
00:17:03,519 --> 00:17:05,160
Speaker 1: Farmer and her daughter.

315
00:17:12,319 --> 00:17:16,480
Speaker 3: Well, they they eat something when you don't just stare

316
00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:18,319
at your plate a come on eat, No.

317
00:17:19,519 --> 00:17:21,799
Speaker 6: I can't, David this is ridiculous.

318
00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:23,920
Speaker 3: No brexit, no lunch.

319
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 1: What good is that going to do you? No good?

320
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:29,079
I have talk some sense on them, Paula.

321
00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:33,079
Speaker 3: Look at him, he's lost ten pounds the trial starter, David.

322
00:17:33,240 --> 00:17:35,680
Speaker 6: Please, she was my sister.

323
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:38,440
Speaker 1: I loved her. I loved Susie.

324
00:17:39,279 --> 00:17:41,480
Speaker 6: But I know that I have to stay alive.

325
00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:43,839
Speaker 9: I know that, and so do you.

326
00:17:44,599 --> 00:17:54,759
Speaker 1: Come on, let's get that to court. Ardan, is missus

327
00:17:54,839 --> 00:17:55,680
Farmer alone?

328
00:17:55,799 --> 00:18:00,240
Speaker 3: When you walked into the kitchen, Yes, did you attend.

329
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:01,279
Speaker 1: Her right away?

330
00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 7: Attack her?

331
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 1: You heard me?

332
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:05,880
Speaker 7: Did you just reach out and grab her?

333
00:18:06,119 --> 00:18:07,119
Speaker 1: Well, no, of Chris.

334
00:18:07,279 --> 00:18:10,680
Speaker 3: Nd did you try to embrace her, kiss her or

335
00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:13,799
anything like that? Yeah, yeah, I guess I.

336
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:19,880
Speaker 1: Did because because what Vernon, Well, because.

337
00:18:19,599 --> 00:18:22,880
Speaker 7: I thought she liked me, because I thought she wanted

338
00:18:22,960 --> 00:18:23,200
me to.

339
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:31,599
Speaker 6: The defendant will rise.

340
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:38,400
Speaker 5: Vernon White, you have been tried and convicted for the

341
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:42,519
crime of homicide in the first degree. The laws of

342
00:18:42,640 --> 00:18:46,559
this State, as amended on October fifth, nineteen seventy four,

343
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:52,119
impose a mandatory sentence for this crime. Therefore, it is

344
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:55,160
my duty to instruct the warden of the State Prison

345
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,599
in Pickstown to take you to a place where you

346
00:18:58,759 --> 00:19:01,920
shall be kept until the thirty first day of March

347
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:06,240
nineteen seventy six, at which time you will be hanging

348
00:19:06,279 --> 00:19:07,480
from the neck until dead.

349
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 1: May God have mercy on your soul. Who is it?

350
00:19:20,759 --> 00:19:22,640
I said, who is it? It's Falla.

351
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:25,039
Speaker 6: Please let me and David down, all right?

352
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:32,119
Speaker 5: Well, well with a real David Farmer, please shave.

353
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,400
Speaker 1: How did you find me? If you must know, stand

354
00:19:36,480 --> 00:19:38,759
told me stand as a big mouth.

355
00:19:39,039 --> 00:19:42,039
Speaker 6: You look terrible, you look it's run down. Is this hotel?

356
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 1: Did you want me to do? Stay up there in

357
00:19:44,319 --> 00:19:44,880
that house?

358
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:47,880
Speaker 6: You could have found something better than this suits me?

359
00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:48,440
Speaker 1: Fine?

360
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,559
Speaker 6: If you want to stay in a hotel for a while, fine,

361
00:19:52,359 --> 00:19:53,200
But the least.

362
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:54,480
Speaker 11: You can do is get a decent room.

363
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 1: This isn't the hotel room, faller. This is a waiting room,

364
00:19:58,759 --> 00:20:03,720
but eating room, a place for me to wait for

365
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:05,319
the thirty first of March.

366
00:20:05,559 --> 00:20:09,519
Speaker 6: Oh, Dave, Dave, that's terrible that some sense me.

367
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:12,160
Speaker 1: What else have I got to do but count the day?

368
00:20:12,319 --> 00:20:14,359
Speaker 6: But to do this to yourself, To.

369
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,640
Speaker 5: Hold up in this awful flea bag, staring at the calendar,

370
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:21,640
think of nothing but that pom Moron's execution on a moron.

371
00:20:22,319 --> 00:20:26,640
Speaker 1: He's Jack Armstrong. The all American boy. Didn't you hear

372
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,839
what he said in court? He thought Connie liked him,

373
00:20:30,519 --> 00:20:31,920
that she wanted him.

374
00:20:32,279 --> 00:20:38,279
Speaker 6: Dave listened to me. Vernon White killed something very precious

375
00:20:38,319 --> 00:20:44,880
to me too, Dave. I have to tell you something.

376
00:20:45,359 --> 00:20:49,839
Tell me what what you want to happen isn't going

377
00:20:49,920 --> 00:20:50,319
to happen.

378
00:20:51,519 --> 00:20:52,160
Speaker 1: What did you say?

379
00:20:52,799 --> 00:20:54,799
Speaker 6: There isn't going to be any thirty first.

380
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:57,799
Speaker 1: There's always a thirty first seven months out of the year.

381
00:20:58,039 --> 00:21:00,519
Speaker 6: I mean, there isn't going to be any execution.

382
00:21:01,599 --> 00:21:04,279
Speaker 5: Stanley call to tell me, and I think that's why

383
00:21:04,359 --> 00:21:07,000
he gave me your address so I could break the

384
00:21:07,079 --> 00:21:07,480
news to.

385
00:21:07,559 --> 00:21:09,119
Speaker 6: You instead of him.

386
00:21:09,440 --> 00:21:10,559
Speaker 1: What are you talking about?

387
00:21:11,119 --> 00:21:16,799
Speaker 5: The appeal was accepted because of Vernon's substandard intelligence or

388
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:17,480
something like that.

389
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:19,519
Speaker 1: Here, you're lying to me.

390
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:22,359
Speaker 6: Save they had community sentence to life imprisonments.

391
00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:23,759
Speaker 1: They can't do that.

392
00:21:24,759 --> 00:21:29,039
Speaker 5: They can't they did, Dave, Vernon White went through tests.

393
00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:32,559
He's not an imbecile and he's not insane, but he's

394
00:21:32,680 --> 00:21:36,319
just not smart enough to know the difference between right

395
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:36,720
and role.

396
00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:37,640
Speaker 7: They can't do that.

397
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:43,920
Speaker 1: He killed Kanne. He killed my little girl. Good Lord, Paula,

398
00:21:44,079 --> 00:21:45,720
You've got to accept it, Dave.

399
00:21:46,519 --> 00:21:48,559
Speaker 3: Don't let it make such a difference to you.

400
00:21:49,119 --> 00:21:55,039
Speaker 1: No, never, I'll never accept it. Do you think I

401
00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:59,880
can go on living with human alive and breathing, walking

402
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:08,119
around and smiling, and Connie and Susie dead. No, I

403
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:19,599
won't let it be. Stan admitted Vernon isn't crazy. They

404
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,839
would have pleaded insanity if he was. It's not a

405
00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:26,920
matter of sane or insane. Dave. There is such a

406
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:30,799
thing as clemency. Yes, it's clemency for the criminals, not

407
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:31,720
for the victims.

408
00:22:31,759 --> 00:22:33,680
Speaker 7: This kid's got an IQ of under a.

409
00:22:33,960 --> 00:22:37,720
Speaker 1: He was smart enough to think Connie liked him. He

410
00:22:37,839 --> 00:22:40,000
thought she had a crush on him. He was so

411
00:22:40,279 --> 00:22:43,640
used to having girls ogrel him in the supermarket, juggling

412
00:22:43,720 --> 00:22:45,720
those crates with his big muscles.

413
00:22:46,559 --> 00:22:50,200
Speaker 3: Dave, this is useless. The court has accepted the appeared.

414
00:22:50,279 --> 00:22:51,799
You just don't have any recourse.

415
00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:58,240
Speaker 1: You're wrong. I do like what I'm going to kill him, Stan,

416
00:22:59,279 --> 00:23:02,160
That's all I can do right now. I have to

417
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:06,319
kill that animal, or I have to stop living myself

418
00:23:07,400 --> 00:23:11,680
one or the other. That's how it has to be. Stand.

419
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:15,400
But you're crazy, David. I don't believe you mean that.

420
00:23:15,480 --> 00:23:20,240
I mean every word. I'm going to kill him, and

421
00:23:20,519 --> 00:23:23,400
you're going to help me. But the man in prison.

422
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:27,000
People get killed in prison. There's a way to do

423
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:31,519
everything if you have the desire and the money. I

424
00:23:31,720 --> 00:23:35,119
have both. You haven't got that cut of experience, but

425
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:39,200
you have Stan. You were in criminal law once. You

426
00:23:39,359 --> 00:23:44,920
must know people. I'm sorry, Dave, You're supposed to be

427
00:23:45,039 --> 00:23:48,759
my best friend. If that's what you are, prove it,

428
00:23:49,759 --> 00:23:52,279
help me wipe the germ off the fate of the earth.

429
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:54,599
It wouldn't prove anything.

430
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:55,599
Speaker 7: It will to me.

431
00:23:57,119 --> 00:24:04,519
Speaker 1: I want his life for Khannie, for Susie's and mine.

432
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:10,000
Whose life do you want to save? Stan, Vernon White's

433
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:11,680
or mine?

434
00:24:11,799 --> 00:24:12,000
Speaker 7: Oh?

435
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:14,480
Speaker 1: No, no, no, I hope you're not talking about it.

436
00:24:14,839 --> 00:24:15,960
That's what I'm talking about.

437
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:17,599
Speaker 7: You're what I said.

438
00:24:18,440 --> 00:24:21,359
Speaker 1: I can't live if he does. I just as soon

439
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:24,200
stick my head into an oven. You are putting me

440
00:24:24,519 --> 00:24:28,240
in one hell of a spot. Find out what I

441
00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:28,920
have to do.

442
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:41,279
Speaker 3: Stan, mister Ross, this is the farmer. Oh, mister farmer,

443
00:24:41,799 --> 00:24:47,960
nice Midny. Hello, mister Ross is in the transportation business.

444
00:24:48,839 --> 00:24:51,559
Speaker 1: He was a client of mine a few years back. Yeah,

445
00:24:51,559 --> 00:24:54,160
a long distance hall. And you know, can't we get

446
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:59,119
to the point, said, Well, here's the point. Mister Ross

447
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:02,640
has a brother named Joey. Yeah, Joey right as well.

448
00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:06,640
Speaker 3: Unfortunately, a few years ago the Rosses got into a

449
00:25:06,799 --> 00:25:10,359
jam when was a movement company. Me and my brother

450
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:14,759
I got mister Ross off, but his brother wasn't that lucky.

451
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:21,039
He's serving a ten year sentence right now in Peakstown, Peachtown,

452
00:25:21,200 --> 00:25:22,160
right as well.

453
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:25,000
Speaker 1: Joe's a friendly guy. You know, he's made a lot

454
00:25:25,039 --> 00:25:25,880
of friends in prison.

455
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:32,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, Joey's okay. The point Dan proposition is this, Joey

456
00:25:32,519 --> 00:25:35,599
is a trustee at Peakstown, and even though he's made

457
00:25:35,680 --> 00:25:39,400
some pin know errors in his life, he doesn't like

458
00:25:39,559 --> 00:25:43,440
child killers anymore than we do. He might want to

459
00:25:43,559 --> 00:25:50,160
do something about Vernon White. We ain't talking about favors though, No, no,

460
00:25:50,319 --> 00:25:54,000
not favors. What we're talking about entails a certain amount

461
00:25:54,039 --> 00:25:58,359
of risk. Oh, it's only fair that we arranged some compensation.

462
00:25:58,799 --> 00:26:02,519
Speaker 1: I'll pay anything. Name your price. We've already agreed on

463
00:26:02,599 --> 00:26:04,799
the price. Three thousand dollars.

464
00:26:05,079 --> 00:26:07,640
Speaker 3: I'll make it five. Wait a minute, day, I'll make

465
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:11,799
it five. If you kill him, that's four the thirty.

466
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:20,799
Speaker 6: First, let's see, when did you pay this plumbing bill?

467
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:22,480
Speaker 1: I don't know, Paula.

468
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:25,319
Speaker 6: If not paid, but I don't see the castle tag.

469
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:26,440
Speaker 1: What does it matter?

470
00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:28,440
Speaker 6: It doesn't matter days.

471
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:32,200
Speaker 5: You can't let everything slide this way. Half a dozen

472
00:26:32,279 --> 00:26:34,319
people are threatening to sue you for this or that.

473
00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:37,039
Speaker 3: And I suppose you know that you let your.

474
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 6: Insurance policy last.

475
00:26:38,759 --> 00:26:40,920
Speaker 5: You went right past the thirty day grade period.

476
00:26:41,039 --> 00:26:44,839
Speaker 1: What's the difference? You know why I have that policy, but.

477
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:48,160
Speaker 3: It's ridiculous to let it last one of these days.

478
00:26:48,200 --> 00:26:49,599
Speaker 1: You might don't say that, Falla.

479
00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:54,599
Speaker 5: Anyway, I called you broker and arranged to have it paid.

480
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:57,640
I'm surprised stan didn't do that for you when he

481
00:26:57,799 --> 00:26:59,000
had the power of attorneys.

482
00:26:59,039 --> 00:27:00,880
Speaker 1: Then isn't the book keeper he's a lawyer.

483
00:27:01,200 --> 00:27:04,319
Speaker 5: Staley could have been more helpful. He knew how spaced

484
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:07,079
out you were. He could have hired a girl or

485
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:10,000
somebody to pay your bills, keep your accounts in order.

486
00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:13,880
Speaker 1: Paula, will you stop taking off on stand? What have

487
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:14,920
you got against the guy?

488
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:16,920
Speaker 6: What if you got in your favor?

489
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:21,240
Speaker 1: He's my best friend. He proved that.

490
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:26,200
Speaker 6: Maybe I wonder how friendly he'd be if you were broken.

491
00:27:26,279 --> 00:27:27,400
Speaker 1: I'll cut it out, Paula.

492
00:27:28,240 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 6: Look at this checkbook. None of the stubs filled in,

493
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,240
and you must have spent a villion.

494
00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:37,119
Speaker 5: Dollar well expensive, I know that, but stand so those

495
00:27:37,160 --> 00:27:40,319
securities for you back in March that meant a deposit

496
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:41,599
of almost one hundred.

497
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:42,559
Speaker 1: Thousand dollars Paula.

498
00:27:42,799 --> 00:27:46,680
Speaker 5: I can't think now, okay, but I just wanted to

499
00:27:46,799 --> 00:27:48,319
know that there are expenditures.

500
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:49,519
Speaker 6: I can't explains.

501
00:27:51,559 --> 00:27:55,599
Speaker 1: Well, day, Yeah, what's happening?

502
00:27:55,799 --> 00:28:00,319
Speaker 8: Day, don't get upset about this, But something went wrong

503
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:01,200
up in peaks down?

504
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:02,599
Speaker 1: What do you mean wrong?

505
00:28:03,240 --> 00:28:05,559
Speaker 9: I don't have all the details yet. Our friend Joey

506
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:08,559
up there tried to fulfill his mission this morning, but

507
00:28:08,759 --> 00:28:09,680
he watched it.

508
00:28:10,079 --> 00:28:13,200
Speaker 3: Oh how Hernon isn't Danny's hurts.

509
00:28:13,799 --> 00:28:15,759
Speaker 9: He's got a night wound, but he's alive.

510
00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:18,440
Speaker 1: We had a deal, don I know.

511
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 9: I know we won't pay until we get what we pay.

512
00:28:21,039 --> 00:28:23,359
Speaker 1: I don't care about the money. It's just a delay,

513
00:28:23,519 --> 00:28:24,559
that's Oh for how long?

514
00:28:24,759 --> 00:28:27,079
Speaker 9: We can't be sure? Vernon to the prison hospital.

515
00:28:27,559 --> 00:28:28,920
Speaker 1: It's a hard place to reach, Dave.

516
00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:34,640
Speaker 9: But don't worry. Mister Ross says he'll get the job done.

517
00:28:35,319 --> 00:28:38,279
Speaker 1: He's got to. He's got to.

518
00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 3: And so the executioner has failed to perform his allotted task.

519
00:28:50,759 --> 00:28:54,880
Vernon White is alive and not so well in the

520
00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:59,000
prison hospital, but the physicians who will treat his wounds

521
00:28:59,160 --> 00:29:02,519
don't know that he's suffering from what might well be

522
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:09,519
a terminal illness, the disease called revenge. We'll see if

523
00:29:09,720 --> 00:29:13,079
Dave Farmer gets that revenge in a few moments.

524
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 1: When I return with Act three.

525
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:34,359
Speaker 3: Vernon White, Killer of Constance and Susan Farmer is still alive.

526
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:40,920
David Farmer is alive too, if walking, talking, and breathing

527
00:29:41,039 --> 00:29:44,599
are signs of life. As his sister in law follow

528
00:29:44,759 --> 00:29:48,359
sits in a restaurant table and looks at his pale features,

529
00:29:49,279 --> 00:29:52,480
her eyes are clouded with pity. Dave.

530
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:56,400
Speaker 5: When I first met you, when Conye introduced him, I

531
00:29:56,519 --> 00:30:00,720
remember thinking you were sweet on Kime, maybe a.

532
00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:03,119
Speaker 1: Little vulnerable, vulnerable.

533
00:30:03,519 --> 00:30:07,079
Speaker 5: Seeing what you wanted to see in people giving a nice,

534
00:30:07,160 --> 00:30:10,640
clean images, even if they were more complicated than you

535
00:30:10,759 --> 00:30:11,440
wanted them to be.

536
00:30:12,240 --> 00:30:14,400
Speaker 1: I suppose you're talking about Stam.

537
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:18,240
Speaker 6: No, I'm talking about Connie.

538
00:30:18,799 --> 00:30:19,119
Speaker 1: Connie.

539
00:30:20,119 --> 00:30:22,960
Speaker 5: You see, I'll have my sister for a sister much

540
00:30:23,079 --> 00:30:24,200
longer than you had.

541
00:30:24,079 --> 00:30:24,799
Speaker 6: Her for a wife.

542
00:30:25,319 --> 00:30:27,680
Speaker 1: I never saw anything complicated about Connie.

543
00:30:28,279 --> 00:30:29,279
Speaker 6: It was hard to see.

544
00:30:30,039 --> 00:30:32,279
Speaker 3: She had such a bright, glowing surface.

545
00:30:32,400 --> 00:30:35,799
Speaker 1: Paula, we were married six years. Do you think I

546
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:36,920
didn't know Connie?

547
00:30:37,200 --> 00:30:41,119
Speaker 5: She always wanted so much days? Don't put worried me

548
00:30:41,200 --> 00:30:44,000
when she told me she was getting married. She was

549
00:30:44,119 --> 00:30:46,920
used to one hundred phone calls seven days a week.

550
00:30:46,880 --> 00:30:48,680
Speaker 6: Fifty men in her life at all times.

551
00:30:48,759 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 5: She was beautiful, Paula, I know she was dazzling. Maybe

552
00:30:54,799 --> 00:30:58,000
that's what happened to that poor delivery boy. She was

553
00:30:58,160 --> 00:30:59,400
dazzled out of herself.

554
00:30:59,640 --> 00:31:01,440
Speaker 1: Is that why you wanted to have dinner with me?

555
00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:03,160
To defend that more?

556
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:06,359
Speaker 6: On no days? I had another reason?

557
00:31:06,920 --> 00:31:08,680
Speaker 1: Well, what is it?

558
00:31:10,359 --> 00:31:13,359
Speaker 5: I finished all the books last night, so I did

559
00:31:13,400 --> 00:31:14,480
everything I could, Dave.

560
00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:17,920
Speaker 6: I got everything to balance practically.

561
00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 1: To the penny. I knew you were a great bookkeeper.

562
00:31:20,359 --> 00:31:23,960
Speaker 5: The only trouble is I still can't explain some of

563
00:31:24,039 --> 00:31:28,000
the cash with doraws that were made by stand forget them,

564
00:31:28,519 --> 00:31:30,279
Forget you hurt me.

565
00:31:31,279 --> 00:31:34,240
Speaker 6: Forget twenty five thousand dollars.

566
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:37,400
Speaker 1: Twenty five thousand that's right?

567
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:40,759
Speaker 6: Well now even you seem surprised.

568
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:44,440
Speaker 1: Or it can't be that much, Paula, it just can't be.

569
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:48,680
It is, and I think you must know what that means.

570
00:31:54,880 --> 00:32:01,079
Twenty five thousand all taken out in cash, but that

571
00:32:01,200 --> 00:32:02,359
there were expenses, Dave.

572
00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 3: You know that.

573
00:32:03,039 --> 00:32:05,559
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sorry if they weren't all item I

574
00:32:06,079 --> 00:32:09,039
not like you, though. You were always a stickler about money.

575
00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:12,720
Speaker 3: You always said you were raised poor, so you had

576
00:32:12,799 --> 00:32:17,039
respect for the buck. Look, Dave, I wasn't at my

577
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:20,079
best at the time either. Connie meant a lot to

578
00:32:20,160 --> 00:32:21,079
me too, you know.

579
00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 1: And what happened to that money?

580
00:32:25,240 --> 00:32:28,720
Speaker 7: Hey, hey, come on, what kind of tone of voice

581
00:32:28,799 --> 00:32:28,960
is that?

582
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:31,640
Speaker 1: I want an answer? Oh wait, when are you accusing

583
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:37,240
me or something? Oh wait a minute, I just got it. Oh,

584
00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:41,440
Paula puts you up to this. Yeh, Paula never liked

585
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:44,240
me much. She's found the perfect way to get back

586
00:32:44,319 --> 00:32:45,720
at me. Now money is gone.

587
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:49,200
Speaker 3: It went into somebody's pocket, and I want to know

588
00:32:49,359 --> 00:32:52,400
who's I want to know if there's something you're hiding.

589
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 1: Maybe there's something that got to be hit. Nothing like this.

590
00:32:57,039 --> 00:32:59,960
Speaker 3: You were willing to spend five thousand dollars.

591
00:33:00,119 --> 00:33:04,799
Speaker 1: That was different. That money had a special purpose. Now

592
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:10,480
what's the special purpose for that? Twenty five grand I

593
00:33:10,599 --> 00:33:13,480
wanted to spare you the truth, Dave. What's the truth?

594
00:33:14,880 --> 00:33:18,359
Speaker 3: Well, even now I don't want to tell you I'd

595
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:21,160
rather you thought that I was a thief and a swindler,

596
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:22,359
that I robbed you.

597
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:24,039
Speaker 1: Is that what you did?

598
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:24,279
Speaker 9: Oh?

599
00:33:24,440 --> 00:33:26,559
Speaker 7: No, no, what I did?

600
00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:30,440
Speaker 1: I did for you and for Connie. Connie, I swore

601
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:32,839
to myself that you should never learn about saying about

602
00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:39,599
what the money about? What the money bought? A go on?

603
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:47,200
It went into somebody's pocket? All right, George Waterman's Venin's

604
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:51,960
defense attorney, Are you kidding me? I had to do it, Dave.

605
00:33:52,039 --> 00:33:54,680
I had to make things easier. How could they be easier?

606
00:33:55,079 --> 00:33:58,119
Lenin confessed his prints were on everything. There wasn't any

607
00:33:58,200 --> 00:34:01,319
doubt of his guilt, Dave, Dave.

608
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:02,279
Speaker 7: The money bought a note?

609
00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:03,839
Speaker 9: What note?

610
00:34:05,160 --> 00:34:07,400
Speaker 3: I should have burned it the the minute that was

611
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:10,519
in my hand, But I didn't. Lord knows why I

612
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:13,280
who knows? Maybe I was afraid that this would happen,

613
00:34:13,400 --> 00:34:15,519
that that I'd have to account to you for what

614
00:34:15,639 --> 00:34:15,920
I did?

615
00:34:16,039 --> 00:34:16,639
Speaker 1: What note?

616
00:34:17,280 --> 00:34:17,800
Speaker 7: Who wrote it?

617
00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:22,400
Speaker 1: What did it say? I? I haven't here in this

618
00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:27,519
or I would give my right arm if you never

619
00:34:27,639 --> 00:34:32,559
had to see it. It's it's Connie's stationary yes y

620
00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:40,719
h her handwriting. Yes, I have to see you. Dave

621
00:34:40,920 --> 00:34:44,840
leaves for a city at eight thirty, I'll try to

622
00:34:44,920 --> 00:34:50,519
send Susie out to day school. I'll be waiting for you, Darling.

623
00:34:52,440 --> 00:35:01,239
Please don't disappoint me. I am sorry, Dave. It's it's

624
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:06,519
her handwriting. I know I have to see you.

625
00:35:08,039 --> 00:35:08,320
Speaker 3: Dave.

626
00:35:08,920 --> 00:35:13,320
Speaker 1: Lee's for the city. Good lords stand?

627
00:35:14,159 --> 00:35:14,880
Speaker 7: What does this mean?

628
00:35:16,199 --> 00:35:22,159
Speaker 3: The note was sent to Vernon White. No, No, that

629
00:35:22,519 --> 00:35:25,800
just can't be he He turned it over to his

630
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:29,599
attorney after the arrest. Waterman didn't want to submit it

631
00:35:29,639 --> 00:35:32,039
into evidence. Before he talked to me. He knew it

632
00:35:32,039 --> 00:35:35,840
wouldn't make any difference as far as the verdict was concerned. Well,

633
00:35:35,880 --> 00:35:38,559
it might even have made his client a little less pathetic,

634
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:42,679
but he knew it would make a difference to us.

635
00:35:43,239 --> 00:35:47,239
Speaker 1: I'm not going to believe it. I'm not. Oh, I

636
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:51,320
haven't helped me. I didn't want to either, But it's

637
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:51,920
the truth.

638
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:57,079
Speaker 3: Twenty five thousand dollars worth of ugly truth.

639
00:36:03,920 --> 00:36:05,679
Speaker 7: Who is it, Paula?

640
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:06,960
Speaker 1: Please open the door.

641
00:36:07,079 --> 00:36:11,639
Speaker 6: Days, don't worry.

642
00:36:11,880 --> 00:36:13,880
Speaker 5: I didn't bring your chicken srup, just a couple of

643
00:36:13,960 --> 00:36:15,000
containers of coffee.

644
00:36:15,400 --> 00:36:18,880
Speaker 1: You just think I'd need sobering up, you do, days.

645
00:36:19,159 --> 00:36:19,800
I haven't been.

646
00:36:19,760 --> 00:36:24,320
Speaker 3: Drinking, I thought, well, I thought you might be upset tonight.

647
00:36:24,599 --> 00:36:29,519
Speaker 1: Why because of what happened? Have you been talking to Stan? No,

648
00:36:29,719 --> 00:36:30,280
of course not.

649
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:33,599
Speaker 5: I have nothing to say to Stan, and he vice versa.

650
00:36:34,639 --> 00:36:37,400
I meant about Vernon White. Do you still take your

651
00:36:37,440 --> 00:36:38,039
coffee black?

652
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:39,119
Speaker 1: What about Vernon?

653
00:36:40,480 --> 00:36:43,880
Speaker 5: He was released from the prison hospital, but the authority

654
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:45,840
thought it would be too risky just to put him

655
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:49,559
back among the same prisoners, so they transferred him where.

656
00:36:50,159 --> 00:36:51,440
Speaker 3: Well, I guess they thought he.

657
00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:54,880
Speaker 5: Couldn't be very dangerous after the knife wound and all that.

658
00:36:55,800 --> 00:36:58,119
But he must be a strong yet to the point,

659
00:37:02,039 --> 00:37:02,880
Vernon's loose.

660
00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:11,880
Speaker 1: It wasn't easy, mister farmer.

661
00:37:12,079 --> 00:37:12,639
Speaker 7: Let me tell you.

662
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:14,199
Speaker 1: But you really know something.

663
00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:17,880
Speaker 3: I know everything. His kid burning is the dope. He

664
00:37:17,960 --> 00:37:20,679
ain't playing with a full deck, you know what I mean?

665
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:23,280
I know, well a poll of mine. He lives on

666
00:37:23,360 --> 00:37:25,119
East Avenue. He gives me the tip.

667
00:37:25,840 --> 00:37:27,840
Speaker 1: Some kids in the neighborhood like a gang.

668
00:37:28,320 --> 00:37:30,679
Speaker 3: They do a lot of problem around the section where

669
00:37:30,679 --> 00:37:34,639
they're knocking down buildings for some kind of housing project. Well,

670
00:37:34,679 --> 00:37:37,039
they spotted this blonde guy sleeping in one of the

671
00:37:37,159 --> 00:37:38,039
condemned buildings.

672
00:37:38,599 --> 00:37:40,000
Speaker 1: I think maybe they rolled him and.

673
00:37:40,199 --> 00:37:41,159
Speaker 7: He didn't have no money.

674
00:37:41,480 --> 00:37:43,360
Speaker 1: What happened to him? Well is he now?

675
00:37:43,679 --> 00:37:45,760
Speaker 3: Well, Mike Palell. He goes to have a look at

676
00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:48,159
the guy and sees the kind of clothes he's wearing.

677
00:37:48,800 --> 00:37:50,559
He figures he busted out of the joint.

678
00:37:50,639 --> 00:37:53,000
Speaker 1: Where is he? Where it's burning white?

679
00:37:53,719 --> 00:37:56,440
Speaker 3: My friend's got him like in custody, you know what

680
00:37:56,559 --> 00:37:59,679
I mean. Sometimes there's a reward for turning in the

681
00:37:59,719 --> 00:38:00,559
skatee Cobbs.

682
00:38:00,840 --> 00:38:02,679
Speaker 1: He wouldn't call the police.

683
00:38:03,320 --> 00:38:07,000
Speaker 3: No, my friend is not exactly friendly with the cops.

684
00:38:07,559 --> 00:38:09,920
But bread is bread, mister Farmer.

685
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:14,559
Speaker 1: I'll tell your friend how much does he want? A thousand?

686
00:38:15,519 --> 00:38:19,239
More like gire too and dead and there's me. I

687
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:23,400
put in a lot of time, all right, A thousand

688
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:29,159
for you, two for your friend only. I want one

689
00:38:29,199 --> 00:38:39,840
other thing. I want a gun. Hello Vernon, Oh.

690
00:38:41,639 --> 00:38:41,920
Speaker 7: Hello?

691
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:43,760
Speaker 1: Do you remember me? Vernon?

692
00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:49,840
Speaker 3: M Oh, I guess I don't. Oh wait, you look

693
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:56,920
kind of familiar. Look hard Vernon, Nope, but just don't remember. Hey,

694
00:38:57,000 --> 00:39:00,400
you're you're bringing somebody. My name is Farmer, the man

695
00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:02,320
that was here before. He said he was gonna bring

696
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:05,039
me sandwiches or something. I sure I have hunger son.

697
00:39:05,119 --> 00:39:07,840
Speaker 1: And doesn't the name mean anything to you?

698
00:39:08,199 --> 00:39:08,360
Speaker 5: Oh?

699
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:13,719
Speaker 1: Well, what was it again, Farmer, David Farmer. My wife's

700
00:39:13,800 --> 00:39:18,119
name was Connie. My daughter was named Susan. Do you

701
00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:21,000
remember now, yo?

702
00:39:22,519 --> 00:39:26,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, I remember. I saw you up at Park Pleasant

703
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:27,960
and in the court.

704
00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:33,000
Speaker 1: I'm her husband, Vernon, the husband of the woman you murdered.

705
00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:39,599
Speaker 3: The father of the child, mister Farmer. I'm I'm really

706
00:39:39,639 --> 00:39:40,559
sorry about what happened.

707
00:39:40,559 --> 00:39:41,159
Speaker 7: I really am.

708
00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:43,280
Speaker 1: Iron. Another one told me you were sorry.

709
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:46,239
Speaker 7: I mean, I didn't mean to hurt your wife. I

710
00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:49,239
really didn't. The little girl, No, I didn't mean her either.

711
00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:53,000
Speaker 1: One I liked them, didn't you. You liked my wife

712
00:39:53,159 --> 00:39:56,400
and she liked you. I thought you did, mister Farmer.

713
00:39:56,519 --> 00:39:57,480
She told me she did.

714
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:01,239
Speaker 7: Only when I came to s Ye like she asked

715
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:04,920
me to, she put up this big fight, and I

716
00:40:05,079 --> 00:40:07,880
got all upset about it. I didn't know what I

717
00:40:07,960 --> 00:40:08,880
was doing anymore.

718
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:11,039
Speaker 1: A lot of the girls like you don't favor in them.

719
00:40:11,199 --> 00:40:15,719
Speaker 7: Yeah, a lot of at this store.

720
00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:20,920
Speaker 1: Is is that a real gun?

721
00:40:21,599 --> 00:40:27,079
Speaker 3: Yes? Well, well, anyway, she sent me that note, and

722
00:40:27,280 --> 00:40:29,400
I thought she was like the girls in the store,

723
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:33,400
and well she said it was good looking. That's what

724
00:40:33,519 --> 00:40:36,719
he told me. He who told you? Well, he did,

725
00:40:36,880 --> 00:40:39,280
he did the man I used to see there.

726
00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:43,159
Speaker 7: What man? I forget his name?

727
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:44,000
Speaker 1: A lawyer.

728
00:40:44,639 --> 00:40:47,199
Speaker 7: Yeah, he told me that she liked me.

729
00:40:48,039 --> 00:40:50,280
Speaker 3: And I'd be loading up stuff at the supermarket and

730
00:40:50,400 --> 00:40:53,639
he'd drive up and say, hey, brun missus farmer thinks

731
00:40:53,679 --> 00:40:54,960
you're a real good looking kid.

732
00:40:55,119 --> 00:40:58,519
Speaker 1: She'd really liked that. Get you all crazy? Nobody told

733
00:40:58,519 --> 00:40:59,280
you any of such things.

734
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:02,079
Speaker 7: Yeah, he did, he did. And then he gave me

735
00:41:02,159 --> 00:41:03,559
this note that she wrote to me.

736
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:07,639
Speaker 1: He gave you the note, this lawyer, you know.

737
00:41:08,599 --> 00:41:10,960
Speaker 7: I swear he gave me this note, and it said,

738
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:13,360
I want to see you. My husband's going to the

739
00:41:13,440 --> 00:41:16,400
city and I want you to come around with a liar.

740
00:41:17,079 --> 00:41:17,639
You're a liar.

741
00:41:17,800 --> 00:41:22,159
Speaker 3: No, look, I swear it's true. Of he was that

742
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:24,400
kind of yours, the one that you drove around with

743
00:41:24,519 --> 00:41:28,000
a lot. And he gave me a note. And I

744
00:41:28,199 --> 00:41:33,480
went there and and she she didn't like me.

745
00:41:35,039 --> 00:41:36,119
Speaker 1: She didn't like me at all.

746
00:41:36,920 --> 00:41:39,639
Speaker 7: And Very, that's when everything went wrong.

747
00:41:42,199 --> 00:41:43,320
Speaker 3: Every very.

748
00:41:54,480 --> 00:41:55,440
Speaker 1: Come on in and stand.

749
00:41:55,599 --> 00:41:55,760
Speaker 7: Hell.

750
00:41:56,199 --> 00:42:01,039
Speaker 1: Thanks. Do you hear the good news about Vernon White?

751
00:42:01,679 --> 00:42:01,880
Speaker 3: Yes?

752
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:02,440
Speaker 1: I heard.

753
00:42:02,840 --> 00:42:05,360
Speaker 3: Well, he'll be holding him a maximum security for a while.

754
00:42:06,360 --> 00:42:08,880
He can scratch any idea of getting at him at

755
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:10,000
least for the time being.

756
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:14,960
Speaker 1: It's okay, Stan, I've dropped the idea. Vernon's death doesn't

757
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:15,719
mean anything to me.

758
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:15,960
Speaker 3: Now.

759
00:42:16,960 --> 00:42:19,559
Speaker 7: Well, I'm relieved to hear that in.

760
00:42:19,639 --> 00:42:22,840
Speaker 1: Fact, I was the one who turned him in. That

761
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:26,840
anonymous tip to the police was mine. But how did

762
00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:29,719
you know where he didn't see any reason for Vernon's death?

763
00:42:30,800 --> 00:42:35,480
Not after he told me about the note. Yes, I

764
00:42:35,639 --> 00:42:39,000
talked to him, Stan, Mister Ross helped me find him

765
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:42,480
and we had a good long talk.

766
00:42:43,880 --> 00:42:46,880
Speaker 3: Hep you, uh, hope he didn't take him too seriously, Dave.

767
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:49,079
You know the kid's moral.

768
00:42:49,199 --> 00:42:53,519
Speaker 1: He's dim witted, not a moron, Diman. Not to think

769
00:42:53,559 --> 00:43:00,280
that Connie liked him just because you said so, to

770
00:43:00,360 --> 00:43:03,440
believe that note was meant for him when it was

771
00:43:03,599 --> 00:43:06,960
really sent to you. Wait a minute time. I couldn't

772
00:43:07,079 --> 00:43:10,519
understand it at first. Then I remembered how it was

773
00:43:10,599 --> 00:43:13,960
between you and Connie before I came along. I had

774
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:17,480
a little more to offer, so she picked me. But

775
00:43:17,639 --> 00:43:20,440
she didn't want to give you up either, Dave. Now

776
00:43:20,519 --> 00:43:24,679
I don't know what to hurt. Something happens, Stan, Connie

777
00:43:24,960 --> 00:43:27,480
threw you over for some reason. I remember when you

778
00:43:27,519 --> 00:43:30,000
stopped coming around to the house save. I swear to you,

779
00:43:30,119 --> 00:43:34,840
little must have hurt you pretty bad, so bad that

780
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:39,239
you wanted to hurt her back, so you ficked Vernon.

781
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:42,119
Please please let me say something.

782
00:43:42,280 --> 00:43:45,119
Speaker 3: Told me all about it, what you used to say

783
00:43:45,239 --> 00:43:49,039
to him to go to him on, get him all excited,

784
00:43:50,159 --> 00:43:53,719
and then you gave him that note, the note Connie

785
00:43:53,840 --> 00:43:54,599
once sent you.

786
00:43:55,920 --> 00:43:58,159
Speaker 1: I didn't mean it to work out the way it did,

787
00:43:58,559 --> 00:44:01,800
so help me. I didn't. I didn't know what he'd do.

788
00:44:03,199 --> 00:44:05,920
I just I just wanted to teach her a lesson.

789
00:44:06,039 --> 00:44:09,440
But that's why you were willing to help me, willing

790
00:44:09,519 --> 00:44:13,360
to let me kill that boy so he'd never give

791
00:44:13,519 --> 00:44:14,320
you away.

792
00:44:14,639 --> 00:44:18,239
Speaker 7: Dave, Dave, I didn't mean it. I didn't want it

793
00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:18,800
to happen.

794
00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:25,280
Speaker 1: They did. It happened. He killed them, Connie and Susie.

795
00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:28,119
Speaker 7: You kill them.

796
00:44:28,199 --> 00:44:30,679
Speaker 1: No, No, it's not me. I swear.

797
00:44:30,840 --> 00:44:31,800
Speaker 7: What will you swear?

798
00:44:31,880 --> 00:44:35,280
Speaker 1: Stand? Yes, Yes, on your knee, on my knees, Dave,

799
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:39,320
on my knees, I swear it wasn't me. All right?

800
00:44:39,519 --> 00:44:47,960
Stand they say the gun you did it's the thirty first, Dan.

801
00:44:55,559 --> 00:44:59,840
Speaker 3: That execution has taken place on the thirty first of them.

802
00:45:01,320 --> 00:45:02,880
Speaker 1: In the mind of David farmer.

803
00:45:03,480 --> 00:45:10,039
Speaker 3: Justice has been done, but now the executioner himself must

804
00:45:10,159 --> 00:45:15,599
face the bar of justice for usurping the privilege. Only

805
00:45:15,679 --> 00:45:21,159
the law can have, only the law must have. I'll

806
00:45:21,199 --> 00:45:39,119
be back shortly. We hope you didn't find our little

807
00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:44,559
domestic tale too grim. When violence strikes close to home,

808
00:45:45,119 --> 00:45:49,960
Saul was more upsetting. If you are disturbed, why not

809
00:45:50,159 --> 00:45:54,079
sit back now, have a nice warm drink, move to

810
00:45:54,199 --> 00:45:58,440
bit early and take tomorrow off. Then you'll be all

811
00:45:58,559 --> 00:46:02,159
ready for a little more terror and suspense. When we
