Those words were written by Benjamin Franklin 311 00:16:33.720 --> 00:16:37.759 in the year seventeen fifty nine, Even before the United 312 00:16:37.759 --> 00:16:41.200 States of America had come into being, Franklin realized that 313 00:16:41.240 --> 00:16:44.399 the path toward freedom was a difficult one. He knew 314 00:16:44.440 --> 00:16:46.679 that there would be many people who would prefer easier 315 00:16:46.720 --> 00:16:50.639 paths to the difficult one that led toward freedom. These people, 316 00:16:50.639 --> 00:16:53.960 he felt, did not deserve to enjoy freedom. Just as 317 00:16:54.000 --> 00:16:56.960 there were in ben Franklin's time, there are people today 318 00:16:57.519 --> 00:17:00.240 who would choose what looks like the safe and easy 319 00:17:00.279 --> 00:17:03.759 way to protect American freedom. They would be willing to 320 00:17:03.799 --> 00:17:06.559 sacrifice some of their liberties in order to be comfortable. 321 00:17:07.519 --> 00:17:10.680 But the surrender of a little freedom soon leads to 322 00:17:10.720 --> 00:17:12.039 the surrender. 323 00:17:11.680 --> 00:17:13.119 Of all freedom. 324 00:17:13.640 --> 00:17:17.440 Liberty can be protected only by constant vigilance and the 325 00:17:17.519 --> 00:17:20.599 willingness to fight to protect it if necessary. 326 00:17:21.640 --> 00:17:22.880 Remember the words. 327 00:17:22.519 --> 00:17:26.960 Of Benjamin Franklin, they are part of your American heritage. 328 00:17:27.519 --> 00:17:32.599 Temporary safety must never be purchased at the price of liberty. 329 00:17:33.680 --> 00:17:36.400 And now act free of yours, truly, Johnny Dollar and 330 00:17:36.519 --> 00:17:50.200 the ghost to ghost matter is the front door of 331 00:17:50.240 --> 00:17:53.839 this old house always left wide open. Got Johnny, sure 332 00:17:53.839 --> 00:17:56.680 you want to go in? Sure?

I knew 335 00:18:05.960 --> 00:18:10.319 it on lock though I meant had that flashlight. Tohnny here, 336 00:18:11.920 --> 00:18:15.079 m hm, no sign of wires, the strings on it. 337 00:18:15.599 --> 00:18:21.480 Come on, okay, come on fellas now, Johnny, because you 338 00:18:21.519 --> 00:18:26.480 can see there's just one big room downstairs here, Johnny, easy, Nancy, 339 00:18:26.920 --> 00:18:29.359 don't you see? I admit this is all pretty strange. 340 00:18:29.599 --> 00:18:31.640 But a ghost what else? We've been over this house 341 00:18:31.640 --> 00:18:36.799 with a fine tooth comb. Listen, you hear that somebody, 342 00:18:38.720 --> 00:18:40.640 somebody's walking on the ceiling. 343 00:18:42.240 --> 00:18:42.519 Looking. 344 00:18:45.039 --> 00:18:47.799 That's the kind of stuff you hear older guys, noisy spirits. 345 00:18:47.880 --> 00:18:49.480 You can hear them, but you can't see him, don't 346 00:18:49.519 --> 00:18:56.960 you see, Johnny?

Is 347 00:18:57.000 --> 00:18:57.480 that the end? 348 00:18:58.599 --> 00:19:02.160 The old ghost has a regular See here, those shutters banging. 349 00:19:02.680 --> 00:19:03.720 There's no wind out there. 350 00:19:04.480 --> 00:19:08.000 Why why didn't you tell me it'd be like this, Johnny. 351 00:19:08.039 --> 00:19:13.480 Let's lock hair lights moving around somewhere outside. You can 352 00:19:13.519 --> 00:19:19.839 see the reflection in the trees. They're green ghost lights. 353 00:19:25.519 --> 00:19:29.720 Johnny. Look, there's a rocking chair. 354 00:19:30.839 --> 00:19:34.319 It's rocking in front of the window where old McAndrews 355 00:19:34.400 --> 00:19:36.000 used to sit and look out on the town before 356 00:19:36.039 --> 00:19:36.440 he died. 357 00:19:37.160 --> 00:19:44.119 Give me the flashlight up here. Mm hmm. No strings 358 00:19:44.119 --> 00:19:54.799 are wires on us either. Well, well, that's the end 359 00:19:54.799 --> 00:19:59.480 of it. The same crazy routine every night. It's the 360 00:19:59.519 --> 00:20:03.200 ghost of Ian mcandrew's. That's all there is to it. Well, 361 00:20:03.240 --> 00:20:04.640 from what your fellows have shown me the night, it 362 00:20:04.720 --> 00:20:07.160 kind of looks that way it is, Johnny, But tomorrow 363 00:20:07.240 --> 00:20:12.680 I want to investigate these things in broad daylight. I 364 00:20:12.759 --> 00:20:15.440 investigated all right, the old house, the clock tower, everything 365 00:20:15.480 --> 00:20:17.960 I could find, and thanks to the help of the boys, 366 00:20:17.960 --> 00:20:22.079 we covered a lot of ground. Results nothing. Meantime, I 367 00:20:22.160 --> 00:20:24.759 noticed that the town, a sleepy little town of Lake City, 368 00:20:24.880 --> 00:20:28.319 was being mob people from all over streets jam with cars. 369 00:20:28.839 --> 00:20:30.519 And as we sat down at lunch in the hotel, 370 00:20:30.680 --> 00:20:34.920 miss waitress, will you please bring me another couple?
