1
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:22,839
Speaker 1: Come in Welcome. I'm e. G.

2
00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:30,760
Speaker 2: Marshall, concierge of this halfway Hotel, located somewhere between reality

3
00:00:30,839 --> 00:00:35,960
and illusion and convenient to both. We speak of reality

4
00:00:35,960 --> 00:00:40,320
and illusion as if they are two separate and distinct states.

5
00:00:40,960 --> 00:00:46,000
But are they? Can one exist without the other? Aren't

6
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:51,000
they like pain and pleasure, love and hate, life and death,

7
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:56,719
two opposites inseparably linked together, like the two sides of

8
00:00:56,799 --> 00:01:01,799
the same coin. Yes, and so close are they that

9
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:07,680
it's hard to tell where one begins and the other ends.

10
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:13,079
Speaker 3: Major Morrissey, you realize you are disobeying a written order

11
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:14,159
of General Wallace.

12
00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:21,079
Speaker 1: I realize that, Lieutenant, But General Rollers won't care what.

13
00:01:22,359 --> 00:01:24,239
You'll be dead too, you.

14
00:01:24,319 --> 00:01:26,519
Speaker 4: Major, have you taken leave of your mind?

15
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:28,799
Speaker 1: Tomorrow there will be battle.

16
00:01:29,879 --> 00:01:32,319
Speaker 4: There can't be. The enemy isn't within miles.

17
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:36,799
Speaker 1: In eight hours we will all be dead. We will

18
00:01:36,879 --> 00:01:37,599
die bravely.

19
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,519
Speaker 4: Major. Are you saying you can see into the.

20
00:01:41,439 --> 00:01:46,159
Speaker 1: Future That that's impossible. Nobody can see into the future.

21
00:01:46,719 --> 00:01:57,599
I can, Lieutenant, I've been there.

22
00:01:58,959 --> 00:02:03,120
Speaker 2: Our mystery drama The Other Self was written especially for

23
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:07,000
the Mystery Theater by Sam Dan and stars Howard da Silva.

24
00:02:07,599 --> 00:02:10,879
It is sponsored in part by Buick Motor Division and

25
00:02:11,039 --> 00:02:15,879
Anheuser Busch Incorporated, brewers of Budweiser. I'll be back shortly

26
00:02:16,319 --> 00:02:18,000
with Act one to the men.

27
00:02:18,199 --> 00:02:19,199
Speaker 1: Plies and the station.

28
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:35,719
Speaker 2: The belt is about two feet wide and the one

29
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:41,159
hundred feet long. It moves slowly and carried on it

30
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:45,719
is a row of things. Well, they start off as

31
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:51,439
single things, smallish tubular plastic things. But all along the

32
00:02:51,439 --> 00:02:54,560
one hundred feet of slowly moving belt they stand men

33
00:02:54,639 --> 00:02:59,919
and women, and each in turn adds something or does something,

34
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:04,039
then waits about four seconds, and then a fresh new

35
00:03:04,159 --> 00:03:08,639
thing comes by on the belt. Take Oliver Towndrand, a

36
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,639
tall blonde couple about two thirds of the way down

37
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:15,639
the line. Well, every four seconds, here's what he does.

38
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,520
He picks up a thing, gives the rotating end of

39
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:23,599
it a turn, taps it with his finger, uses it

40
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:27,120
with one touch of a special heat gun, sends it

41
00:03:27,159 --> 00:03:29,680
on its way, and takes up the next. And he

42
00:03:29,759 --> 00:03:34,479
does it to a kind of rhythm. He says, turn, tap, zap.

43
00:03:35,439 --> 00:03:40,319
And he does this every day for eight hours. How

44
00:03:40,439 --> 00:03:45,759
does he keep from going mad? Maybe he doesn't turn

45
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:52,599
touch such turn, touch that.

46
00:03:54,639 --> 00:03:54,879
Speaker 1: Turn.

47
00:04:01,879 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 2: I don't know what else I can tell you, doctor Heckman.

48
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:11,360
Oh excuse me. Yeah, well, how do we stand today?

49
00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:14,199
Speaker 1: La? No that much?

50
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:18,000
Speaker 2: You know, well, the overall percentage for the month is

51
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:23,519
not going to be too good. Yeah, all right, we

52
00:04:23,519 --> 00:04:27,199
were just talking about this, doctor Heckman. Absenteeism on the

53
00:04:27,199 --> 00:04:30,639
first shift is twenty percent. That means one in five

54
00:04:30,759 --> 00:04:32,160
workers did not show up.

55
00:04:32,879 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 5: And this is your usual pattern, mister Wallace.

56
00:04:35,319 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 2: It is getting to be our usual pattern.

57
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,279
Speaker 5: These are all production line workers.

58
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 2: That's where we hurt.

59
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:46,240
Speaker 5: But it's any consolation. Most production line workers have the

60
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:46,920
same problem.

61
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,360
Speaker 2: No, that doesn't help me. Orders are piling up, I

62
00:04:49,399 --> 00:04:50,160
can't fill them.

63
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 5: Why don't your employees show up?

64
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 2: Why they call in sick?

65
00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:57,439
Speaker 5: Mostly are they sick?

66
00:04:58,079 --> 00:05:00,879
Speaker 2: I guess they are think of working.

67
00:05:01,759 --> 00:05:05,040
Speaker 5: You must admit these are dull, monotonous jobs.

68
00:05:05,439 --> 00:05:07,279
Speaker 2: So what can I do about that?

69
00:05:08,879 --> 00:05:10,279
Speaker 5: Dory? I make the job exciting?

70
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 2: Exciting?

71
00:05:12,439 --> 00:05:15,480
Speaker 5: Oh interesting, interesting?

72
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 2: Oh good lord.

73
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 5: You could, for example, very the rhythm of the production line,

74
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:24,720
have the place painted in more interesting colors, the line

75
00:05:24,759 --> 00:05:29,240
itself alternated with the components. Could be things like pictures,

76
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:31,120
little puzzle slogans.

77
00:05:31,399 --> 00:05:33,720
Speaker 2: But my people have to watch what they're doing. They

78
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:37,360
have to concentrate even music is out.

79
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 5: Then eliminate the jobs. Cat a machine be devised that.

80
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:45,079
Speaker 2: Would no, no, because those components have to be finger tightened.

81
00:05:45,279 --> 00:05:47,680
You can't get a machine that can feel it or

82
00:05:48,079 --> 00:05:48,639
sense it.

83
00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:52,199
Speaker 5: Still, there must be people who actually thrive in this

84
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:53,399
kind of work situation.

85
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,560
Speaker 2: I never found any Is.

86
00:05:57,480 --> 00:05:59,839
Speaker 5: There anybody here who loves his work?

87
00:06:01,319 --> 00:06:04,199
Speaker 2: I never heard anybody say they love the production line.

88
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:06,160
Speaker 5: But they don't have to say it. There can be

89
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:10,680
other testimony. I'm like, what like a good record of attendance.

90
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:13,879
Let's study the characteristics of those people.

91
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:17,199
Speaker 2: Wait a minute, there is one guy. The foreman was

92
00:06:17,240 --> 00:06:19,519
talking about him just the other day. He's been working

93
00:06:19,560 --> 00:06:23,079
for me eight years, eight years, and in all that

94
00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,480
time he hasn't even been absent once.

95
00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:29,079
Speaker 5: Well, then a clinical study is definitely in order.

96
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:32,199
Speaker 2: His name is Oliver Townsend.

97
00:06:39,639 --> 00:06:40,759
Speaker 1: Turn that.

98
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:48,360
Speaker 2: Turneth turn.

99
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:52,480
Speaker 1: Coffee rerecord.

100
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:55,079
Speaker 5: Listen to Oliver Townsend.

101
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:57,279
Speaker 1: Uh, yeah, that's me.

102
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,639
Speaker 5: Well, my name is a Roman hickman. May I talk

103
00:07:01,680 --> 00:07:03,519
with you for sure?

104
00:07:04,199 --> 00:07:04,519
Speaker 1: Why?

105
00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:07,879
Speaker 5: Well, I'm I'm a psychologist.

106
00:07:08,639 --> 00:07:10,759
Speaker 1: I'm kidding. I think that's great.

107
00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 5: Why do you think it's great? Why do you think

108
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:15,839
my being a psychologist is great?

109
00:07:16,519 --> 00:07:19,000
Speaker 1: Because it's better than not being a psychologist.

110
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:21,360
Speaker 5: I'm afraid I don't understand.

111
00:07:21,839 --> 00:07:25,879
Speaker 1: It's so simple. Look, why are you a psychologist?

112
00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 5: Because that's always been my ambition.

113
00:07:29,279 --> 00:07:32,079
Speaker 1: Right, So wouldn't it be terrible if you didn't become

114
00:07:32,079 --> 00:07:38,920
a psychologist? I see you think I'm crazy? Oh no, no, oh,

115
00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,560
don't let it bother you. Everybody thinks I'm crazy.

116
00:07:42,360 --> 00:07:43,120
Speaker 5: What do you think?

117
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 1: Fifty million freshmen can't be wrong?

118
00:07:46,959 --> 00:07:47,759
Speaker 2: What does that mean?

119
00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,120
Speaker 1: Our dough boys used to say that during World War One?

120
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:52,439
Speaker 2: Oh?

121
00:07:52,560 --> 00:07:55,759
Speaker 1: You notice I call them dough boys. Each war has

122
00:07:55,759 --> 00:07:57,759
a different nickname for the American soldier.

123
00:07:58,319 --> 00:07:59,879
Speaker 2: Really, Yeah.

124
00:08:00,160 --> 00:08:03,319
Speaker 1: The British are always called Tommy's Tommy Atkins, that is,

125
00:08:03,879 --> 00:08:07,199
but we keep changing. In World War Two, our boys

126
00:08:07,199 --> 00:08:11,199
were called g I Joe. Civil War it was Johnny

127
00:08:11,199 --> 00:08:13,000
reb and Billy Yank.

128
00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,199
Speaker 5: Are you interested in wars?

129
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:21,600
Speaker 1: Yeah? My war's the Civil War? Is it? I should

130
00:08:21,639 --> 00:08:24,360
drive your nuts? But actually, people around here give me

131
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:29,680
a nickname, Shiloh, Shiloh. Didn't you ever hear the Battle

132
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:34,120
of Shiloh? It was also called Pittsburgh lamb Oh.

133
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,120
Speaker 5: Yes, I think I remember?

134
00:08:36,840 --> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 1: You think you remember? Well? I'm I sort of made

135
00:08:41,440 --> 00:08:46,159
the battle of Shiloh my life's work. Yeah, you could

136
00:08:46,159 --> 00:08:52,080
say that. Why why not some people play golf, other's

137
00:08:52,080 --> 00:08:56,559
bowl hunt, fish shot, I've got the Battle of Shiloh.

138
00:08:56,639 --> 00:08:58,759
Do you work here? Well, I do for a while

139
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:03,440
when you have to see the Battle of Shiloh where

140
00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:06,080
over at my place. The reason I asked that you

141
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:09,399
seem interested, I mean, when most folks think I'm a nut,

142
00:09:09,559 --> 00:09:14,519
are harmless but a nut? A lot of interesting people

143
00:09:14,519 --> 00:09:16,080
were at the Battle of Shiloh.

144
00:09:16,159 --> 00:09:17,159
Speaker 5: Yes, I'm sure.

145
00:09:17,399 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 1: The Confederates lost. The best general they had next to

146
00:09:20,039 --> 00:09:25,519
Robert E. Lee, General Albert Sidney Johnson. They also had

147
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:31,519
Beauregard and Braxton Bragg. So you're not really interested, Oh

148
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:31,960
I am?

149
00:09:32,679 --> 00:09:33,000
Speaker 5: I am?

150
00:09:33,159 --> 00:09:35,600
Speaker 1: Of course you had Grant commanding the Federals and General

151
00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,679
Lou Wallace. You heard of Lou Wallace when he came

152
00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:41,799
home from the war, he wrote, Ben hur there was

153
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:47,759
another General Wallace too, Bill Wallace. Really, for some reason,

154
00:09:47,799 --> 00:09:50,759
I feel very close to him and to that whole

155
00:09:50,799 --> 00:09:51,679
Indiana Corps.

156
00:09:51,879 --> 00:09:54,039
Speaker 5: Mister Thompson, about your job.

157
00:09:53,879 --> 00:09:57,320
Speaker 1: We I mean they turned the tie at Shiloh.

158
00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:59,679
Speaker 5: Do you like the work you do, especially.

159
00:09:59,399 --> 00:10:02,799
Speaker 1: An outfit that attached to them Morrissey's rifles.

160
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 5: Do you prefer it to other kinds of thing?

161
00:10:05,200 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 1: We called it a brigade, but it was just an

162
00:10:07,480 --> 00:10:09,039
oversized company.

163
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:13,159
Speaker 5: Tell me what aspects of the job make it desirable.

164
00:10:13,519 --> 00:10:15,759
Speaker 1: But I've got all these soldiers you see, made out

165
00:10:15,759 --> 00:10:19,480
of lead and tin, and everything's authentic. I mean, the

166
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:20,440
uniforms at all.

167
00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,399
Speaker 5: Is it a question of being happy with your work?

168
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:26,039
Speaker 1: I got everything and everybody lined up just the way

169
00:10:26,039 --> 00:10:30,159
they were that April morning in eighteen sixty two. You

170
00:10:30,279 --> 00:10:34,480
have to see it, the line starting up. I better

171
00:10:34,519 --> 00:10:38,720
get with its. Excuse me, turn?

172
00:10:40,799 --> 00:10:44,919
Speaker 5: Did you really mean it turn when you asked me

173
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:46,600
to see the Battle of Shadows?

174
00:10:47,879 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 1: Except?

175
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:48,720
Speaker 2: Sure?

176
00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:53,679
Speaker 5: When how about tonight? Fine?

177
00:10:53,879 --> 00:11:05,799
Speaker 1: Turn? Set over? Even, Aunt Clara, I am true.

178
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,039
Speaker 6: But when you said you were bringing someone home to supper,

179
00:11:08,159 --> 00:11:10,879
I didn't assume it would be a lady.

180
00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:11,960
Speaker 1: Friend, Aunt Clara.

181
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 5: This is why she's pretty.

182
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,120
Speaker 1: This is doctor Heckman, my Aunt Claa.

183
00:11:16,039 --> 00:11:17,720
Speaker 5: Doctor Oliver.

184
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:19,200
Speaker 6: Did you bring a doctor to see me?

185
00:11:19,960 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 1: Now?

186
00:11:20,159 --> 00:11:21,279
Speaker 5: There isn't something wrong.

187
00:11:21,399 --> 00:11:24,600
Speaker 1: Doctor Heckman is going to see the Battle of Shiloh Oh.

188
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:29,039
Speaker 5: I might have known. Oh oh, please, hey, come in, thank.

189
00:11:28,919 --> 00:11:32,960
Speaker 1: You now, Aunt Clara? Will you entertain the doctor while

190
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:35,960
I get my men set up. Uh it love me

191
00:11:36,039 --> 00:11:36,960
take a couple of minutes.

192
00:11:38,399 --> 00:11:40,960
Speaker 6: Well won't you sit down, doctor?

193
00:11:41,320 --> 00:11:43,159
Speaker 5: Oh please call me Wilma.

194
00:11:43,840 --> 00:11:46,320
Speaker 6: What's a pretty girl like you doing being a doctor?

195
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,480
Speaker 5: Well, I'm I'm really a doctor of philosophy.

196
00:11:49,759 --> 00:11:53,679
Speaker 6: No, that's even worse. Well, when I saw you standing

197
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,679
in the doorway, I said, oh my, maybe now he

198
00:11:56,799 --> 00:11:59,679
found himself a girl, and he'll come back to this life.

199
00:12:00,399 --> 00:12:05,840
Speaker 5: This I as distinguished from which life? Well, the crazy

200
00:12:05,879 --> 00:12:10,039
one he's leading now, Oh you mean at the factory. No,

201
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:15,200
I mean at the Battle of Charlot. I don't understand.

202
00:12:15,559 --> 00:12:18,519
Speaker 6: Oh, he's back there all right, his mind, his heart.

203
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:21,919
There are times when I even think.

204
00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:27,200
Speaker 5: Neville. Tell me, no, you'll think I'm crazy. There at

205
00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:28,840
times when you even think.

206
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:31,519
Speaker 6: I even think his body is back there.

207
00:12:32,799 --> 00:12:34,399
Speaker 5: Well, that that's you.

208
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 6: See. You're trying not to say it. You're trying not

209
00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:38,879
to say that's crazy.

210
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,240
Speaker 5: Well, tell me why you think so. No, I don't

211
00:12:42,279 --> 00:12:43,000
have to tell you.

212
00:12:44,039 --> 00:12:46,759
Speaker 6: Look at him when he talks, Listen to what he says.

213
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:48,759
You'll believe it yourself.

214
00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:52,879
Speaker 1: Well, everything's ready. How much time do we have before dinner? Well?

215
00:12:52,919 --> 00:12:55,240
Speaker 6: How long is the battle gonna last.

216
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:56,279
Speaker 1: Oh, just a couple of minutes.

217
00:12:56,879 --> 00:13:00,159
Speaker 6: Well in that case, far away.

218
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:05,840
Speaker 1: Now you see why I need the whole basement.

219
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 5: Well it it's I don't know what to say. It's unbelievable.

220
00:13:13,559 --> 00:13:16,080
Speaker 1: You have to realize it's nowhere near the real thing.

221
00:13:16,279 --> 00:13:21,039
Speaker 5: These tables end to end, but they occupy the whole floor.

222
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:26,600
And the soldiers. Soldiers, there must be thousands.

223
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:28,840
Speaker 1: It looks like a lot, but you have to remember

224
00:13:28,879 --> 00:13:31,840
there were over eighty thousand men involved. I don't have

225
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:32,639
anywhere near that.

226
00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:38,080
Speaker 5: Oh, these pictures on the walls, Ugh, I recognize General Grad.

227
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,480
Oh wait, that general is standing high above the battle

228
00:13:42,519 --> 00:13:45,320
of the table. He's also General Grad. Right, how did

229
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,879
you get that little statue to look like General Grant?

230
00:13:48,039 --> 00:13:50,000
Speaker 1: I don't know. I just bought a little statue of

231
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,840
a horseman dressed like a Union Army general, and after

232
00:13:52,879 --> 00:13:55,799
a while it began to look like Grant.

233
00:13:57,559 --> 00:13:58,600
Speaker 5: What are you telling me?

234
00:13:59,519 --> 00:14:03,519
Speaker 1: The true And look at the other officers. Now compare

235
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:08,120
them with their pictures on the wall. That's Beauregard, and

236
00:14:08,159 --> 00:14:12,799
that's Buell and Bragg and Johnson and Wallace.

237
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:17,919
Speaker 5: That's fantastic. How did you get these made up?

238
00:14:18,799 --> 00:14:21,840
Speaker 1: I keep telling you I just bought ten soldiers in

239
00:14:21,879 --> 00:14:24,279
Civil War uniforms and after a war.

240
00:14:24,360 --> 00:14:28,559
Speaker 5: Wait a min'te this one? This one here? Who's that?

241
00:14:29,519 --> 00:14:32,600
Speaker 1: Oh, that's Major Morrissey, commanding officer of Morrissey's Rifles.

242
00:14:34,279 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 5: That's uncanny.

243
00:14:37,159 --> 00:14:38,639
Speaker 1: What's uncanny?

244
00:14:39,799 --> 00:14:45,960
Speaker 5: This tin soldier? His face, it looks exactly like you.

245
00:14:46,519 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 2: Oh right. You never know where these things go, do you.

246
00:14:56,559 --> 00:15:00,000
Now Here, we have a nice, rather conservative lady psychology,

247
00:15:00,159 --> 00:15:03,120
just trying to solve one of the most searing problems

248
00:15:03,159 --> 00:15:08,639
of our highly technical age, boredom. And if she's not careful,

249
00:15:09,320 --> 00:15:12,159
she's going to find herself dodging bullets at the Battle

250
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:18,120
of Shiloh, which took place more than a century ago. Well,

251
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:22,879
dig in, I'll return in a few moments with that too.

252
00:15:24,879 --> 00:15:25,399
Speaker 1: Difference.

253
00:15:29,440 --> 00:15:41,000
Speaker 2: You've heard it said of certain people in certain parts

254
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:45,960
of our country that they're still fighting the Civil War. Well,

255
00:15:46,200 --> 00:15:50,519
you'd be surprised at how many people are still fighting

256
00:15:50,559 --> 00:15:55,960
the Civil War, reliving it, restaging it, rethinking it, and

257
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:59,600
why not. It was a war that burned deep into

258
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:04,759
our notional consciousness, a war we can't forget, a thoroughly,

259
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:13,399
completely uniquely American war, a complex war, a deep, brooding

260
00:16:14,039 --> 00:16:18,679
and mysterious war. And like all wars, it brought out

261
00:16:18,759 --> 00:16:22,840
the best in US and the worst in US.

262
00:16:23,279 --> 00:16:26,200
Speaker 5: This ten soldier, the one who's supposed to be Major Morrissey,

263
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:28,519
he looks exactly like you.

264
00:16:29,120 --> 00:16:30,799
Speaker 1: It's your imagination, but.

265
00:16:30,879 --> 00:16:32,919
Speaker 5: Anyone who can see would have to admit it.

266
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 1: Probably, But it's a coincidence. Now I promised you the battle.

267
00:16:36,879 --> 00:16:41,399
It is dawn Sunday morning, April fifth. The Confederates under

268
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:45,679
General Hardy move against General Prentices Division. I made up

269
00:16:45,679 --> 00:16:52,519
a special soundtrack out of table. Fighting is general and

270
00:16:52,639 --> 00:16:56,440
spreads all along the wide. Now the gunboats come down

271
00:16:56,440 --> 00:17:00,600
the river, and here is where Morsse's right make such

272
00:17:00,639 --> 00:17:04,680
an important But wait, what is it? Cease firing?

273
00:17:06,440 --> 00:17:07,279
Speaker 5: With something wrong?

274
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:14,039
Speaker 1: Something, something's terribly wrong. What Marrissey's rifles? Look at them?

275
00:17:14,519 --> 00:17:16,559
What about imposition near the river bank?

276
00:17:17,039 --> 00:17:18,160
Speaker 4: See how I've placed them?

277
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:20,960
Speaker 5: Well, isn't isn't that what they're supposed to be doing?

278
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 1: What happened to their rifles? Rifles?

279
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:29,039
Speaker 5: Well, each one of them seems to have a rifle.

280
00:17:29,119 --> 00:17:32,480
Speaker 1: Those aren't the rifles we they carried into the Battle

281
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:32,960
of Shiloh.

282
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:34,839
Speaker 2: I don't understand something.

283
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:38,400
Speaker 1: Something went wrong. And Clara, and Clara come in here.

284
00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:40,839
Speaker 6: Well, now, what's all that's hollering about?

285
00:17:41,119 --> 00:17:43,640
Speaker 1: And Clara, who's been in this room while I've been gone?

286
00:17:43,880 --> 00:17:44,640
Speaker 6: Nobody.

287
00:17:44,880 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 1: I don't say that nobody ever comes into this rule

288
00:17:47,880 --> 00:17:48,960
somebody's been in here.

289
00:17:49,119 --> 00:17:50,039
Speaker 6: That's impossible.

290
00:17:50,319 --> 00:17:53,599
Speaker 1: I can prove it. These soldiers. See what am I

291
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,559
supposed to see? These soldiers they represent Marssey's rifles.

292
00:17:56,559 --> 00:17:58,160
Speaker 6: Oh, none of that means a thing to me.

293
00:17:58,440 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 1: Somebody took away their rifle?

294
00:18:00,599 --> 00:18:03,279
Speaker 5: Oh now, who want to do a thing like that?

295
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:05,200
Speaker 1: And Clara has any body?

296
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:09,279
Speaker 6: No, I'm no expert, but even I can tell they

297
00:18:09,319 --> 00:18:10,559
still have their rifle.

298
00:18:10,799 --> 00:18:14,599
Speaker 5: Oliver, why do you say they don't have their rifles?

299
00:18:14,880 --> 00:18:17,599
Speaker 1: With the rifles they're carrying? These were the fifty eight

300
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:21,559
caliber US Model eighteen sixty ones. So, but Morrissey's men

301
00:18:21,599 --> 00:18:22,880
were armed with spencers.

302
00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 6: Oh but these are just ten soldiers.

303
00:18:25,759 --> 00:18:27,279
Speaker 1: They are not ten soldiers.

304
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 5: Oh right, they're lead soldiers.

305
00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,000
Speaker 1: They didn't go into combat with the guns they're carrying now,

306
00:18:32,079 --> 00:18:34,920
because if they add, the Union forces would have lost

307
00:18:34,920 --> 00:18:36,240
the Battle of Shiloh.

308
00:18:36,319 --> 00:18:38,319
Speaker 6: You know, dinners just about ready.

309
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:40,720
Speaker 1: Let me explain something to you. It was the spencer

310
00:18:40,799 --> 00:18:42,759
repeating rifles that turned the tide.

311
00:18:42,759 --> 00:18:45,079
Speaker 2: Finally, Well, I have no reason to doubt that.

312
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:49,079
Speaker 1: See these eighteen sixty ones. You see it's unbelievable how

313
00:18:49,079 --> 00:18:51,599
difficult they were to use. That's why I promised my

314
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:55,000
men's spencers. The eighteen sixty one took a paper cottridge.

315
00:18:55,519 --> 00:18:57,599
You would tear the powder end open with your teeth,

316
00:18:57,960 --> 00:19:01,039
empty the powder down the barrel, ram the bullet down

317
00:19:01,079 --> 00:19:01,960
on top of it.

318
00:19:02,759 --> 00:19:05,480
Speaker 6: You follow this, you're holding me the way a snake

319
00:19:05,559 --> 00:19:06,640
hypnotize of the bird.

320
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:11,119
Speaker 1: You pull the hammer halfway back, adjust your percussion cap,

321
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:16,440
and then finally you're ready to fire. Do you realize

322
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:20,039
that was the gun most men used on both sides? Really,

323
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:22,839
just for certain commanders were able to buy their men

324
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:27,200
better weapons. I that is, Marssey bought spencers for the

325
00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:27,920
whole company.

326
00:19:28,039 --> 00:19:30,839
Speaker 5: If you'd excuse me, I don't understand.

327
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 1: We have just started the Battle of Shiloh, and Marssey's men,

328
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:37,400
who saved the day with their rapid firing spencers, are

329
00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:39,720
going into combat with the old muskets. They can hardly

330
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:40,920
get off two shots a minute.

331
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:45,720
Speaker 5: Well, the Battle of Shiloh has been over for many years,

332
00:19:45,759 --> 00:19:49,839
so does it really matter? What these toy soldiers carry?

333
00:19:50,079 --> 00:19:56,680
Speaker 1: Yes, it matters. The truth always matters. Now, what happened

334
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,400
to the spencers? These men were carrying spencers?

335
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:03,240
Speaker 6: H Why don't we have dinner and then maybe like

336
00:20:03,559 --> 00:20:13,640
both eat sheep, they'll come home again. She's a nice girl, Oliver.

337
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:15,920
Speaker 1: You should nobody came in here.

338
00:20:15,960 --> 00:20:19,000
Speaker 6: I believe you could have done.

339
00:20:19,039 --> 00:20:20,359
Speaker 5: You could have seen her home.

340
00:20:20,759 --> 00:20:24,200
Speaker 1: Why would anybody want to come here and change those rifles?

341
00:20:24,759 --> 00:20:26,200
How could anybody do it?

342
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:26,480
Speaker 5: Oh?

343
00:20:26,599 --> 00:20:29,440
Speaker 6: Maybe she's a little bit too intelligent for you, but

344
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:31,319
you need someone with brains.

345
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:32,920
Speaker 1: I wish would leave me be, Aunt Clara.

346
00:20:33,079 --> 00:20:35,559
Speaker 6: Then maybe you'd leave that production line job and go

347
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:37,880
back to being an architect, which is what you studied for.

348
00:20:38,200 --> 00:20:40,599
Speaker 1: There are enough ugly buildings in this world without my

349
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:42,200
adding any I.

350
00:20:42,319 --> 00:20:43,440
Speaker 6: Won't say another word.

351
00:20:44,119 --> 00:20:46,079
Speaker 1: Play with the soldiers.

352
00:20:45,839 --> 00:20:48,000
Speaker 6: If that's all you want out of life.

353
00:20:48,279 --> 00:20:52,519
Speaker 1: Good night, Aunt Clara, Yeah.

354
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,799
Speaker 6: Well good night.

355
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:56,559
Speaker 1: What could have happened to those rifles?

356
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:13,839
Speaker 2: What could have happened? Have you discovered anything, doctor Heckmann, Yes, mister.

357
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:19,440
Speaker 5: Wallace, in a general way, I've discovered Wallace. Now why

358
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:21,039
does your name seem so familiar?

359
00:21:21,839 --> 00:21:23,400
Speaker 2: I can't imagine?

360
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 5: And why have you discovered the ideal type for this

361
00:21:28,599 --> 00:21:32,200
job is someone with a disassociative personality.

362
00:21:33,240 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 2: What does that mean?

363
00:21:34,559 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 5: Just what you think it might. You need people who

364
00:21:37,519 --> 00:21:39,200
live in two worlds?

365
00:21:40,039 --> 00:21:42,079
Speaker 2: Oh, how can anybody live in two worlds?

366
00:21:42,119 --> 00:21:45,640
Speaker 5: Your face? Where have I seen you a face before?

367
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:46,000
Speaker 4: Ah?

368
00:21:46,079 --> 00:21:48,359
Speaker 2: About those people who live in two worlds?

369
00:21:48,839 --> 00:21:49,000
Speaker 1: Oh?

370
00:21:49,160 --> 00:21:53,079
Speaker 5: Uh, Well most of us do it to a degree,

371
00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:57,079
even you me. Don't you have a day dream?

372
00:21:57,640 --> 00:21:58,720
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm far too busy.

373
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,799
Speaker 5: Mean you have no secret place where you can be

374
00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:03,720
somebody else?

375
00:22:05,039 --> 00:22:09,880
Speaker 2: Well, admit it? Do I? Do you have one?

376
00:22:10,119 --> 00:22:13,319
Speaker 5: We all have our two places, the open one in

377
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:17,359
the world and the secret one that exists within ourselves.

378
00:22:17,960 --> 00:22:20,279
Which is more important to you, the life you lead

379
00:22:20,279 --> 00:22:23,759
in secret or the one everyone knows about. Don't answer

380
00:22:23,839 --> 00:22:24,440
that too quickly.

381
00:22:25,079 --> 00:22:29,079
Speaker 2: I imaginations all very well, but reality is fine.

382
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:32,759
Speaker 5: Then the people you need are the ones for whom

383
00:22:32,799 --> 00:22:37,519
the secret place is more important. Men like Oliver Townsend

384
00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,079
hire people like Oliver Townshend.

385
00:22:41,519 --> 00:22:44,599
Speaker 2: Excuse me, yeah.

386
00:22:44,319 --> 00:22:47,119
Speaker 5: Wallas, I've heard that name and I've seen that face.

387
00:22:47,240 --> 00:22:51,119
Speaker 2: What do you mean? Okay, all right, I'll talk to

388
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:56,799
you later. Well, thank you very much, doctor Heckman.

389
00:22:57,720 --> 00:22:59,759
Speaker 5: Actually I haven't even started.

390
00:23:00,039 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 2: And straighten this out. You may be finished.

391
00:23:03,519 --> 00:23:04,240
Speaker 5: What do you say?

392
00:23:04,519 --> 00:23:05,160
Speaker 1: I am saying.

393
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:08,640
Speaker 2: We got a guy working here named Oliver Townsend. He

394
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,519
hasn't missed a day's work in eight years, so you

395
00:23:11,720 --> 00:23:14,119
talked to him, and this morning, for the first time,

396
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:18,240
he's absent. But that's things are bad enough.

397
00:23:18,319 --> 00:23:21,960
Speaker 5: Mister Wallace. I'm sure there's a reasonable explanation.

398
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:25,599
Speaker 2: Well, if there is, you had better come up with it.

399
00:23:30,279 --> 00:23:33,519
What could have what could have happened to those rifles?

400
00:23:34,160 --> 00:23:35,119
Speaker 1: What happened?

401
00:23:35,359 --> 00:23:36,240
Speaker 4: What Oliver?

402
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:37,400
Speaker 5: Oliver?

403
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:42,279
Speaker 1: Oh? Oh, I guess I must have dozed off.

404
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:46,160
Speaker 6: You've been down here all night, all night? Was it

405
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:47,559
seven o'clock in the morning.

406
00:23:48,599 --> 00:23:49,839
Speaker 1: I must have fallen asleep.

407
00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:52,559
Speaker 6: Well you'd better think about getting ready for work.

408
00:23:53,400 --> 00:23:55,039
Speaker 5: Work all tide, breakfast right away?

409
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:58,519
Speaker 1: No work? Uh, I can't go this morning?

410
00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:04,359
Speaker 6: What Oliver, you realize it's the first time how many years?

411
00:24:04,799 --> 00:24:07,119
Speaker 1: Call in for me? Aunt Clara Sam sick?

412
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:08,920
Speaker 5: I hate to lie, you know it.

413
00:24:10,519 --> 00:24:10,599
Speaker 1: Is.

414
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:12,759
Speaker 6: There's something the matter with you, Oliver.

415
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:18,759
Speaker 1: I've got a problem the rifles. I'm having a problem

416
00:24:18,759 --> 00:24:19,519
with the rifles.

417
00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:25,039
Speaker 6: Yeah, well I'll call in and say you're sick.

418
00:24:25,799 --> 00:24:39,079
Speaker 1: What could have happened? Oh? Who goes that. Major morris say, Major,

419
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,480
we've been waiting for you to come back. What's wrong.

420
00:24:42,839 --> 00:24:45,839
Speaker 2: They want to take our spencer rifles away. Fomas, What

421
00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:48,920
are you saying We're going to trade our spencer rifles?

422
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,839
They stand at USA team sink you one who says

423
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:55,359
so direct order from General Wallace. There's lieutenant from his

424
00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:57,240
headquarters waiting on you, and you can't.

425
00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:04,880
Speaker 1: You can't have my rifles, Lieutenant, Sir.

426
00:25:04,759 --> 00:25:07,359
Speaker 4: I have the order here from General Wallace.

427
00:25:08,039 --> 00:25:09,880
Speaker 1: Those weapons of the personal property.

428
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:10,799
Speaker 4: No, no, sir.

429
00:25:10,839 --> 00:25:13,319
Speaker 3: When your unit was mustered into the service, your equipment

430
00:25:13,319 --> 00:25:17,160
became the property of the United States Army, and Headquarters

431
00:25:17,160 --> 00:25:20,480
feels that this particular equipment can be used more effectively elsewhere.

432
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:25,240
Speaker 1: Once today's date, it's Saturday, able to sif that's right?

433
00:25:25,279 --> 00:25:26,519
Tomorrow is Sunday, April.

434
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:27,279
Speaker 4: Yeah.

435
00:25:27,319 --> 00:25:30,039
Speaker 1: I would venture to say so, sir, if you would

436
00:25:30,079 --> 00:25:32,880
sign the receipt. No, I'm afraid I can't sign that receipt.

437
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:34,880
Speaker 4: But Major you must sign.

438
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:39,279
Speaker 1: Corporal yes, hey, assemble a squad onload our expenses from

439
00:25:39,279 --> 00:25:43,279
this officer's wagon. Major Morrissey, that is insubordination. I have

440
00:25:43,359 --> 00:25:45,240
a written order. Not anymore.

441
00:25:47,279 --> 00:25:50,279
Speaker 4: Corporal in the name of General William Wallace. I order

442
00:25:50,359 --> 00:25:50,640
you not.

443
00:25:50,759 --> 00:25:56,480
Speaker 1: You've heard what I said, Carporal, I'll get moving, Yes, sir, Major,

444
00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,480
surely you don't think you can get away with this.

445
00:26:00,079 --> 00:26:02,119
I think I can. The General will be down here

446
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:05,839
himself the first thing tomorrow morning. No, he won't. But

447
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:09,960
how can you say that, because by tomorrow morning the

448
00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:12,000
Battle of Shiloh will have begun.

449
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,440
Speaker 4: The Battle of Shiloh. What's that?

450
00:26:16,519 --> 00:26:20,279
Speaker 1: There's a little church, a little country church, a couple

451
00:26:20,319 --> 00:26:24,759
of miles south of here, and the folks call it Shiloh,

452
00:26:24,799 --> 00:26:27,200
and that'll be the center of the fighting when the

453
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:30,559
rebels attack. Major, there isn't gonna be a battle tomorrow.

454
00:26:30,559 --> 00:26:35,599
Speaker 3: The rebels won't attack. They're waiting for us to attack now, Sir,

455
00:26:35,799 --> 00:26:37,720
so far no harm has been done.

456
00:26:37,799 --> 00:26:40,799
Speaker 1: And General Wallace needs those rifles now is in exactly

457
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:44,039
eight hours from now? General Wallace isn't going to need anything.

458
00:26:44,119 --> 00:26:47,599
He needs to distribute those spences among the sharp shooter platoons.

459
00:26:47,640 --> 00:26:50,240
It's important to him. Eight hours from now, nothing is

460
00:26:50,279 --> 00:26:51,759
going to be important to General Wallace.

461
00:26:51,880 --> 00:26:52,880
Speaker 4: Major, what are you saying?

462
00:26:53,640 --> 00:26:59,480
Speaker 1: What's your name, Lieutenant but Butterfield? But what are you Butterfield?

463
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:03,640
Do you have a wife listening at Butterfield or a girl.

464
00:27:05,319 --> 00:27:06,880
Speaker 4: Major, will you listen to.

465
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:09,920
Speaker 1: Real back to your temp Lieutenant, write a letter to

466
00:27:09,960 --> 00:27:13,200
your wife or your girl. If there's something you felt

467
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:24,440
you never really told her, tell her now, Oliver. Oh,

468
00:27:24,519 --> 00:27:26,640
oh hello, he let me turn it off.

469
00:27:27,599 --> 00:27:29,839
Speaker 5: Don't let me interrupt anything.

470
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:32,039
Speaker 1: I'd like you to see the whole thing from the beginning.

471
00:27:32,839 --> 00:27:36,640
I just got to the point where General Wallace is killed. Yeah,

472
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:39,839
you see he was Wallace, WILLIAMH. Wallace.

473
00:27:40,759 --> 00:27:43,400
Speaker 5: That's where I heard the name before.

474
00:27:43,279 --> 00:27:44,519
Speaker 1: I got his picture on the wall.

475
00:27:44,599 --> 00:27:47,960
Speaker 4: See up there, Oliver, General Wallace.

476
00:27:48,039 --> 00:27:51,799
Speaker 5: Look at him. Who does he remind you of? I

477
00:27:51,839 --> 00:27:55,720
don't know the resemblance. The resemblance is uncanny.

478
00:27:56,079 --> 00:27:57,039
Speaker 1: I still don't know.

479
00:27:57,279 --> 00:27:59,799
Speaker 5: The face is the same, and the name is this

480
00:28:01,480 --> 00:28:02,279
That could be a.

481
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:06,279
Speaker 1: Picture of your boss, mister Wallace.

482
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:08,279
Speaker 5: I've never seen such a likeness.

483
00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:11,119
Speaker 1: I never noticed it before.

484
00:28:12,119 --> 00:28:15,759
Speaker 5: Oh yes, you have, Oliver. You have.

485
00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:29,279
Speaker 2: People from the past, keep intertwining with people from the present.

486
00:28:30,079 --> 00:28:34,839
When Oliver Townsend combines himself with Major Morrissey, we may

487
00:28:35,039 --> 00:28:37,960
very well suspect that this might be going on in

488
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:42,359
his own head. But we have a Brigadier general William H.

489
00:28:42,400 --> 00:28:47,960
Wallace and an industrialist named William H. Wallace, and both

490
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:51,920
of them look alike. And that isn't confined to Oliver's head.

491
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:55,880
That's a fact. There will be more facts feed upon

492
00:28:55,960 --> 00:29:00,039
her when I return with Act three. Oh, ol we

493
00:29:00,119 --> 00:29:03,359
all sot up shaven cream are a prescription. It's my hemorrhoids,

494
00:29:03,359 --> 00:29:18,880
mister Edwards, what do we know so far? We know

495
00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:23,599
that there are many disassociative personalities. In other words, people

496
00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:26,839
who live in two worlds. The first is a world

497
00:29:26,839 --> 00:29:30,400
they share more or less with everybody, and the second

498
00:29:30,920 --> 00:29:33,759
is a world that is all their very own. And

499
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:37,680
things go along very well for a while, but sooner

500
00:29:37,799 --> 00:29:40,160
or later the worlds start to.

501
00:29:40,119 --> 00:29:41,039
Speaker 1: Get mixed up.

502
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:44,799
Speaker 5: Oliver, this picture of General Wallas, Where did you get it?

503
00:29:45,480 --> 00:29:48,079
Speaker 1: I have a great, big album. It has photographs of

504
00:29:48,119 --> 00:29:51,519
all the Civil War generals. They're all authentic, and I

505
00:29:51,599 --> 00:29:53,519
cut them out of the book and put them on

506
00:29:53,559 --> 00:29:54,000
the walls.

507
00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 5: There are two worlds. You live in two worlds.

508
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:04,000
Speaker 1: What are you saying?

509
00:30:04,160 --> 00:30:08,240
Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying. In one world you're Oliver Townshend,

510
00:30:08,279 --> 00:30:12,720
a production line worker. In the other, you're Major Morrissey,

511
00:30:12,839 --> 00:30:15,000
commander of the Civil war rifle unit.

512
00:30:15,240 --> 00:30:15,799
Speaker 2: I would.

513
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,440
Speaker 5: You won't admit it, but you keep giving it away.

514
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:22,960
You keep seeing yourself as Morrissey. Now that's true, isn't it.

515
00:30:23,599 --> 00:30:23,799
Speaker 1: Well?

516
00:30:24,079 --> 00:30:28,559
Speaker 5: But now now there's another person who seems to be

517
00:30:28,599 --> 00:30:30,279
common to both worlds.

518
00:30:30,680 --> 00:30:31,119
Speaker 4: Wallace.

519
00:30:32,119 --> 00:30:37,640
Speaker 5: In this world, he's Oliver Townshend's employer. What was General

520
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:40,839
Wallace to Major Morrissey in that other world?

521
00:30:42,079 --> 00:30:46,720
Speaker 1: General Wallace he was Morrissey's superior officer.

522
00:30:47,279 --> 00:30:49,839
Speaker 5: And what was the relationships between Wallace and Morrissey?

523
00:30:50,640 --> 00:30:53,480
Speaker 1: They they had very little to do with each.

524
00:30:53,279 --> 00:30:56,400
Speaker 5: Other, very little or nothing at all.

525
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:01,519
Speaker 1: Well, it was Wallace us who took away the Spencers

526
00:31:01,519 --> 00:31:05,759
from Morrissey, just before Shiloh Wallis took.

527
00:31:05,559 --> 00:31:09,319
Speaker 5: Away the Spensers. Yes, I want to tell me why

528
00:31:09,319 --> 00:31:10,839
did you become interested in the Civil War?

529
00:31:11,920 --> 00:31:14,119
Speaker 1: I don't know, it just happened how long ago?

530
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:14,759
Speaker 2: Uh?

531
00:31:15,599 --> 00:31:16,640
Speaker 1: I was always interested?

532
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:18,519
Speaker 2: I guess what do you mean by always?

533
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:20,519
Speaker 1: I may have been born interested.

534
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:23,759
Speaker 5: Nobody is born with an interest in anything. These things

535
00:31:23,759 --> 00:31:30,480
are created by what, by opportunity, personality, experience.

536
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:35,200
Speaker 1: A fellow becomes a nut on Golfer's stamps, but a

537
00:31:35,279 --> 00:31:38,039
nut the way I'm supposed to be a nut on Shiloh. No,

538
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:39,559
you gotta be born with it.

539
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:42,279
Speaker 5: Do you mean to say you were interested in the

540
00:31:42,319 --> 00:31:44,880
Civil War since the day you were born?

541
00:31:45,960 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, I guess that's what I mean.

542
00:31:49,319 --> 00:31:50,319
Speaker 5: But how would you know?

543
00:31:51,759 --> 00:31:54,799
Speaker 1: Well, suddenly it seems a guy goes overboard about certain things,

544
00:31:55,319 --> 00:31:58,599
but the interest was always there. He mayn't have been

545
00:31:58,640 --> 00:31:59,160
aware of it.

546
00:32:00,079 --> 00:32:02,480
Speaker 5: And then one day, just how long have you been

547
00:32:02,519 --> 00:32:05,400
studying the Battle of Shiloh A while?

548
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:05,799
Speaker 1: I guess?

549
00:32:06,799 --> 00:32:08,880
Speaker 5: And what other battles have you analyzed?

550
00:32:09,039 --> 00:32:15,319
Speaker 1: Huh? None? Why? Well, it's just Shiloh is so interesting.

551
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,839
Speaker 5: And why are you so concerned with Morrissey's rifles?

552
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 1: I don't know.

553
00:32:22,240 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 5: And after Shiloh, where did Marsi's rifles go where?

554
00:32:28,799 --> 00:32:32,440
Speaker 1: Well, they must have fought their way farther south. I

555
00:32:32,559 --> 00:32:35,799
never thought about it. What are you trying to say?

556
00:32:36,359 --> 00:32:39,559
Speaker 5: I don't know yet. I don't know.

557
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:52,920
Speaker 2: Turn turns it happens.

558
00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:56,480
Speaker 1: Turn it happens.

559
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:01,759
Speaker 5: Have a cup of coffee.

560
00:33:02,839 --> 00:33:06,799
Speaker 1: Oh, oh, thanks, I haven't seen you around lately.

561
00:33:07,319 --> 00:33:12,759
Speaker 5: Turn tapsap, turn tap sap. Eight hours a day, that's

562
00:33:12,799 --> 00:33:16,480
how it goes, eight hours a day. Why do you

563
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:16,799
do it?

564
00:33:18,279 --> 00:33:18,880
Speaker 1: I need it?

565
00:33:19,079 --> 00:33:19,880
Speaker 5: Why do you need it?

566
00:33:20,759 --> 00:33:22,319
Speaker 1: I have to make a living. I need a job.

567
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:25,000
Speaker 5: Why do you need this job?

568
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:27,720
Speaker 1: It's the only one I can get.

569
00:33:28,400 --> 00:33:31,599
Speaker 5: Why aren't you designing things like buildings?

570
00:33:32,319 --> 00:33:33,079
Speaker 2: Uh?

571
00:33:33,799 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 1: Say, where have you been?

572
00:33:35,119 --> 00:33:36,160
Speaker 5: Where have you been?

573
00:33:36,519 --> 00:33:41,119
Speaker 1: I asked you first in Washington on a job.

574
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:46,480
Speaker 5: It was related to a job. So now where have

575
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:47,000
you been?

576
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:48,759
Speaker 1: Here? Where else?

577
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:52,559
Speaker 5: Part of the time and the rest of the time,

578
00:33:53,319 --> 00:33:56,240
all around around Shiloh.

579
00:33:57,200 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 1: You know I learned something from you? Really, to keep my.

580
00:34:00,200 --> 00:34:03,000
Speaker 5: Mouth shut, I'm not aware that I taught you.

581
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:06,480
Speaker 1: You talk about those two worlds. The private one should

582
00:34:06,519 --> 00:34:10,159
be just that private. My trouble was I let everyone

583
00:34:10,199 --> 00:34:10,800
know about it.

584
00:34:11,679 --> 00:34:13,159
Speaker 5: But do you want to know what I was doing

585
00:34:13,159 --> 00:34:16,760
in Washington? I was looking up the records of the

586
00:34:16,800 --> 00:34:21,360
Department of the Ohio, the Union Army Corps that fought

587
00:34:21,519 --> 00:34:25,920
at Shiloh. What I was looking for Morris's rifles?

588
00:34:26,199 --> 00:34:28,960
Speaker 1: Well, you could have asked me. They were attached to

589
00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:30,320
the ninth Indiana.

590
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:33,559
Speaker 5: I know, and later all records of them were lost.

591
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:38,079
Speaker 1: Why it was a long time ago and not all

592
00:34:38,079 --> 00:34:39,079
the records survive.

593
00:34:40,480 --> 00:34:41,559
Speaker 5: Is that the reason?

594
00:34:42,639 --> 00:34:46,760
Speaker 1: Well? Sure, Look, do you suppose I could see you afterwards?

595
00:34:46,960 --> 00:34:47,880
I have to get back to work.

596
00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:51,320
Speaker 5: At another minute, taps up. How can you do that

597
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:51,880
all day?

598
00:34:52,079 --> 00:34:53,000
Speaker 1: I don't mind it.

599
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:55,239
Speaker 5: I suppose you do need it.

600
00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:58,639
Speaker 1: That's what I told you. I needed to support myself.

601
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:02,440
Speaker 5: No, you need it to support your other world.

602
00:35:07,599 --> 00:35:11,760
Speaker 1: Well no, doctor Hickman, that's going back a long time.

603
00:35:11,920 --> 00:35:13,400
Speaker 5: Yes, I realized that, mister Spenser.

604
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:15,960
Speaker 4: It must be all of nine years.

605
00:35:15,960 --> 00:35:18,079
Speaker 1: We've had a lot of young architects come and go

606
00:35:18,159 --> 00:35:22,480
through this office. Oliver Townsend, you.

607
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:24,920
Speaker 5: Don't remember him, Yes, I remember him.

608
00:35:24,960 --> 00:35:27,760
Speaker 1: I think I could have personnel look it up.

609
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:30,480
Speaker 5: Oh, thank you, But what I really need is your

610
00:35:30,599 --> 00:35:32,400
own human reaction to him.

611
00:35:32,559 --> 00:35:35,960
Speaker 1: As I recall, he didn't last long, maybe six months.

612
00:35:36,400 --> 00:35:37,239
Speaker 5: Did you fire him?

613
00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:37,519
Speaker 4: No?

614
00:35:37,519 --> 00:35:38,079
Speaker 2: No, he quit?

615
00:35:39,000 --> 00:35:44,280
Speaker 1: Why well, oh, now I remember he just walked into

616
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:47,480
my office one day and said, I don't think I

617
00:35:47,519 --> 00:35:48,679
want to be an architect.

618
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:50,400
Speaker 5: Did he give you any reason?

619
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:54,280
Speaker 1: Well, I asked him. My said, son, don't you like architecture?

620
00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:56,840
And he said, I like it, but it takes up

621
00:35:56,880 --> 00:35:59,239
too much of my time and energy.

622
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:09,719
Speaker 5: Well, thank you, mister Spencer. Welcome, doctor Spencer. Spencer. Odd

623
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:11,480
that your name should be Spencer?

624
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:13,880
Speaker 1: Why is it odd that was my father's name?

625
00:36:14,440 --> 00:36:18,119
Speaker 5: Well, there was, there was there still may be a

626
00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:21,280
rifle called the Spencer, and it must have been named

627
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:23,840
after its inventor. Are you related?

628
00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:27,440
Speaker 1: I think so distantly. Why do you ask.

629
00:36:27,760 --> 00:36:35,320
Speaker 5: Wallace not Spencer? No, it was Spencer and then Wallace.

630
00:36:36,079 --> 00:36:37,880
Speaker 1: I beg your pardon, mister Spencer.

631
00:36:38,320 --> 00:36:40,760
Speaker 5: Why did you hire Oliver Townsend in the first place?

632
00:36:40,840 --> 00:36:43,519
Speaker 3: He was highly recommended by one of the greatest architects

633
00:36:43,559 --> 00:36:46,440
in the world, ahead of the Department State University Professor

634
00:36:46,760 --> 00:36:48,920
Morrissey Morrissey, Yes.

635
00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:54,079
Speaker 4: Doctor, are you all right? Is something the matter?

636
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:06,320
Speaker 1: Pajor Morrissey Litennant. If you tell General Wallace if he

637
00:37:06,360 --> 00:37:09,400
wants my Spencer rifles, he can try to take them himself.

638
00:37:09,440 --> 00:37:12,079
How did you know, Major? How did you know? How

639
00:37:12,119 --> 00:37:14,039
did I know what that the rebels would attack?

640
00:37:14,079 --> 00:37:16,400
Speaker 4: The battle's on. You're to form your men by.

641
00:37:16,280 --> 00:37:18,800
Speaker 1: The river close by to the ravine at Bill's Branch, now,

642
00:37:18,880 --> 00:37:20,519
Matt Cordon at eighteen.

643
00:37:21,679 --> 00:37:22,760
Speaker 4: You are to hold there.

644
00:37:23,119 --> 00:37:25,079
Speaker 1: You got to hold that position no matter what.

645
00:37:27,519 --> 00:37:30,920
Speaker 5: Rador last night you said they'd attack.

646
00:37:32,199 --> 00:37:32,840
Speaker 2: How'd you know?

647
00:37:37,679 --> 00:37:41,000
Speaker 1: Now? I can show it to you properly because Morrissey's

648
00:37:41,079 --> 00:37:44,639
men get the rifles back. You see these are Spencer's.

649
00:37:45,119 --> 00:37:47,000
See how they differ from the muskets carried by the

650
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:47,599
other troops.

651
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:49,000
Speaker 5: I'm not sure I do.

652
00:37:49,119 --> 00:37:53,679
Speaker 1: It's obvious these aren't muzzle loaders. These are breech loading repeaters.

653
00:37:53,880 --> 00:37:56,280
That's why General Wallace tried to take them away.

654
00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:04,199
Speaker 5: Spencer Wallace, Mercy, Now tell me one more thing. Why Shiloh, Shiloh.

655
00:38:04,400 --> 00:38:07,079
Every one of these names appear in your life, your

656
00:38:07,119 --> 00:38:13,920
real life, except Shiloh. Shiloh was a church. But what

657
00:38:14,159 --> 00:38:15,320
else was Shiloh?

658
00:38:15,679 --> 00:38:19,239
Speaker 1: It was? It was a biblical town in the land

659
00:38:19,280 --> 00:38:23,320
of Ephraim, and there in a beautiful temple called Shiloh

660
00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:27,760
was where the priests of Eli presided over the Holy sanctuary.

661
00:38:28,360 --> 00:38:32,920
A temple, Yes, a beautiful temple, one of the first

662
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:35,440
of the temples. It was more than a tabernacle. It

663
00:38:35,480 --> 00:38:43,000
was a temple, do you understand, yes, with walls and doors, pillars. Oh.

664
00:38:43,039 --> 00:38:47,800
It was small, but it was magnificent. And it was

665
00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:51,960
my first exercise in design when I studied at the university.

666
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:55,159
No one really knows what the Temple of Shadow looked like,

667
00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:56,719
but I saw.

668
00:38:56,559 --> 00:38:59,239
Speaker 4: It so clearly.

669
00:39:01,480 --> 00:39:05,639
Speaker 1: Now you must really think I'm crazy. No, And that's

670
00:39:05,679 --> 00:39:08,079
how Professor Morrissey came to notice me. He was bowled

671
00:39:08,119 --> 00:39:11,159
over by the beauty of my design, and that's how

672
00:39:11,159 --> 00:39:16,000
I became his protege. But when I graduated and went

673
00:39:16,039 --> 00:39:20,519
to work, I found out something. The temple is always

674
00:39:20,559 --> 00:39:24,239
being destroyed. The Temple of Shiloh. I don't understand that

675
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:28,119
lovely temple. The Philistines destroyed it. And when I came

676
00:39:28,159 --> 00:39:31,239
out into the world, I discovered that wherever you build

677
00:39:31,239 --> 00:39:33,199
a temple, no matter where it is, what it is,

678
00:39:33,719 --> 00:39:36,840
the Philistines will always that's a great or destroy it.

679
00:39:37,079 --> 00:39:39,199
Speaker 5: And that's why you're no longer an architect.

680
00:39:39,800 --> 00:39:42,199
Speaker 1: I don't want to fight the Philistines any longer.

681
00:39:42,320 --> 00:39:44,039
Speaker 5: Maybe you didn't fight them long enough.

682
00:39:44,679 --> 00:39:45,599
Speaker 1: They always win.

683
00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:47,360
Speaker 5: And is that what you're trying to do now, be

684
00:39:47,480 --> 00:39:48,599
killed at Shiloh.

685
00:39:48,639 --> 00:39:50,000
Speaker 1: I'm not trying to be killed.

686
00:39:50,119 --> 00:39:53,039
Speaker 5: Yes. As time goes on, the battle becomes more and

687
00:39:53,199 --> 00:39:57,719
more real. The Holy Temple and Morrissey the keeper and protector,

688
00:39:58,039 --> 00:40:02,199
and Spencer the practical man of and Wallace who takes

689
00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:07,800
away initiative. You all come together at shiloh Oh. Yes

690
00:40:07,840 --> 00:40:12,559
you do, Oliver, listen to me. You can't live in

691
00:40:12,639 --> 00:40:15,800
two worlds of fantasy. One must be real.

692
00:40:16,079 --> 00:40:18,320
Speaker 1: I have a real world, this one.

693
00:40:18,199 --> 00:40:20,159
Speaker 2: No more, and more.

694
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:23,800
Speaker 5: This one becomes an illusion and the other becomes the reality.

695
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:27,239
Soon you'll be back there. Your life will.

696
00:40:27,079 --> 00:40:27,719
Speaker 2: Be back there.

697
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:30,480
Speaker 1: I don't have that much of an imagination, will be real.

698
00:40:31,199 --> 00:40:33,280
Speaker 5: And the next time you go back to fight the

699
00:40:33,320 --> 00:40:39,599
Battle of Shiloh, you'll be dead. Major Morrissey died at Shiloh.

700
00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:41,159
Speaker 1: How do you know?

701
00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:45,119
Speaker 5: Because I did what you were always afraid I do.

702
00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:50,679
I looked up the records Morrissey's rifles save the day,

703
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:56,880
but they were wiped out after Shiloh. They no longer existed.

704
00:41:01,079 --> 00:41:03,559
Speaker 1: Our orders as a hole here at the river, we

705
00:41:03,599 --> 00:41:05,000
will obey those orders.

706
00:41:05,119 --> 00:41:06,400
Speaker 5: Don't go back there, Oliver.

707
00:41:06,559 --> 00:41:10,599
Speaker 1: Don't fire the way you would train the fire Steady, calmly,

708
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:14,559
pick your targets, keep under cover.

709
00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:20,039
Speaker 5: Oliver come back, will comes back, Oliver, goodbye, No, Oliver,

710
00:41:20,159 --> 00:41:21,079
you will be killed.

711
00:41:21,159 --> 00:41:24,159
Speaker 1: I have to go. The Philippines are attacking Shiloh.

712
00:41:24,320 --> 00:41:27,920
Speaker 5: You said it, Oliver, you said it yourself. The Philippines

713
00:41:27,920 --> 00:41:29,440
are always attacking.

714
00:41:29,039 --> 00:41:32,320
Speaker 1: Shiloh, always attacking, always destroying old pipe.

715
00:41:32,119 --> 00:41:33,800
Speaker 2: For Oliver comes back.

716
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:37,639
Speaker 1: Goodbye, Wilver, such a beautiful woe. Why do so many

717
00:41:37,719 --> 00:41:40,559
battles begin on a beautiful more? Oliver, you will die

718
00:41:40,840 --> 00:41:42,559
I'm willing to die for Shiloh.

719
00:41:42,599 --> 00:41:44,719
Speaker 5: Don't die for Shiloh. Live for Shiloh.

720
00:41:45,280 --> 00:41:48,519
Speaker 1: Live for it here and now. Don't go back one

721
00:41:48,559 --> 00:41:49,199
hundred years.

722
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:52,320
Speaker 2: Fight for it now here will Oliver.

723
00:41:52,480 --> 00:41:57,480
Speaker 5: The Philistines are attacking here and now save Shiloh.

724
00:41:57,639 --> 00:41:59,639
Speaker 1: Cat be saying, don't switch.

725
00:42:00,199 --> 00:42:02,320
Speaker 5: Fight for it here, fight now.

726
00:42:03,119 --> 00:42:03,840
Speaker 1: Men need me.

727
00:42:04,079 --> 00:42:07,440
Speaker 5: Those men need nothing. There are hundred years dead.

728
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:09,760
Speaker 6: We need you, Oliver.

729
00:42:10,079 --> 00:42:15,840
Speaker 5: I need you, come back, come back, come back and

730
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:23,599
build a hundred shallows.

731
00:42:23,679 --> 00:42:27,920
Speaker 2: And he did. The temple is built so that it

732
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:31,519
will be destroyed, so that it will be rebuilt again.

733
00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:35,440
And this is the story that is told and retold

734
00:42:35,599 --> 00:42:39,719
over the centuries we have seen, and as it will

735
00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:43,519
be retold in the times that are to come. I
