1
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:21,480
Speaker 1: Come in welcome.

2
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:23,039
Speaker 2: I'm E. G.

3
00:00:23,320 --> 00:00:29,359
Speaker 3: Marshall, Dean of this College of Macabre Knowledge. We are

4
00:00:29,399 --> 00:00:33,840
told that we should forgive our enemies, but nowhere are

5
00:00:33,880 --> 00:00:40,439
we told that we should forgive our friends. How easily

6
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:44,520
we recognize those who would destroy us through evil motive,

7
00:00:45,399 --> 00:00:49,719
how difficult to perceive those who will ruin us for love?

8
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:52,600
Speaker 2: But why is this so surprising?

9
00:00:53,640 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 3: Isn't the road to hell paved with good intentions?

10
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:03,159
Speaker 2: So dear, we're talking about at least three million dollars.

11
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:07,519
Speaker 4: And that's why you hired me so I could cheat, mister.

12
00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:09,959
Speaker 2: Gillaspiorne cheat It a harsh word, but it's true.

13
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:14,159
Speaker 4: And what will you do with me afterwards?

14
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:17,040
Speaker 2: Why you should give you your share?

15
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,599
Speaker 4: Won't you just kill me the way you killed everybody else?

16
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:24,879
Speaker 2: We killed the others because they forced our hands. Give

17
00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,680
us no motive and we'll let you live.

18
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:31,040
Speaker 4: Aren't you afraid I'll go to the police.

19
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,719
Speaker 2: No, because we will have evidence to show that you

20
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,640
are the one who poisoned missus dame.

21
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:42,439
Speaker 4: But that's a lie. Oh I don't want any parton.

22
00:01:42,519 --> 00:01:45,120
Speaker 2: Oh my dearness, watsn't what are we proposing? Only to

23
00:01:45,159 --> 00:01:50,319
make you fabulously wealthy? Why are you being so difficult

24
00:01:50,319 --> 00:01:50,680
about it?

25
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:05,359
Speaker 3: Our mystery drama The Person to Be Notified was written

26
00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:09,759
especially for the Mystery Theater by Sam Dan and stars

27
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:22,400
Mercedes the Cambridge.

28
00:02:25,439 --> 00:02:26,759
Speaker 1: What is love?

29
00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:33,400
Speaker 3: That's the oldest question in the world, then why? Because

30
00:02:33,439 --> 00:02:35,800
no one has ever been able to answer it to

31
00:02:35,879 --> 00:02:43,039
the universal satisfaction. Therefore we keep asking and asking. There

32
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:46,240
is a young man named James Morton. There is a

33
00:02:46,280 --> 00:02:50,439
young lady named Sarah Watson. They have nothing in common.

34
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:55,280
They meet by chance, and if they will fall in

35
00:02:55,319 --> 00:02:58,840
love in our story, they will be completely unaware of

36
00:02:58,879 --> 00:03:04,159
it until Well, we're still almost an hour away from

37
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:08,560
the answer, So let us begin at the beginning. James

38
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,319
Morton is the manager of an employment agency.

39
00:03:11,719 --> 00:03:14,560
Speaker 1: Please sit down. Have you filled out the applications?

40
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:16,840
Speaker 4: Miss Watson? Oh?

41
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, Sarah Watson.

42
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:24,680
Speaker 1: You were previously a secretary for stare at Valentine Or

43
00:03:24,719 --> 00:03:25,280
why'd you leave?

44
00:03:26,159 --> 00:03:28,159
Speaker 4: The company went bankrupt?

45
00:03:28,319 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 2: Oh?

46
00:03:28,879 --> 00:03:34,159
Speaker 1: Yeah, well that's oh two years of college, that's all over?

47
00:03:34,280 --> 00:03:34,479
Speaker 2: Good?

48
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:39,639
Speaker 1: Well, I unfortunately there's very little stirring at this particular time.

49
00:03:40,599 --> 00:03:42,719
Speaker 4: Are you saying that you had nothing for me?

50
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:46,240
Speaker 1: Well not at the moment. Perhaps you know how things

51
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:49,439
are job wise. We'll hold your application on file, and

52
00:03:49,479 --> 00:03:51,439
I thank you goodbye.

53
00:03:52,680 --> 00:03:53,199
Speaker 2: One moment.

54
00:03:53,479 --> 00:03:57,479
Speaker 1: You didn't fill out the application completely, I'm sure I did. Well, No,

55
00:03:57,560 --> 00:03:59,680
you see the last line. Well, it's as person to

56
00:03:59,719 --> 00:04:02,280
be know. Yes, yeah, you left that blank.

57
00:04:02,479 --> 00:04:02,759
Speaker 3: I know.

58
00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:07,439
Speaker 1: We have a rule that this agency all forms must

59
00:04:07,439 --> 00:04:09,439
be fully filled in, fully.

60
00:04:09,199 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 4: Filled in almost sounds like a song.

61
00:04:13,719 --> 00:04:16,279
Speaker 1: There's a state regulation to that effect. So would you

62
00:04:16,319 --> 00:04:19,040
mind putting down the name of someone I can't?

63
00:04:19,639 --> 00:04:22,199
Speaker 4: Why not because I don't have anybody.

64
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:29,680
Speaker 1: Oh well, that's that's what it's. Well, everybody has somebody

65
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:31,079
to notify.

66
00:04:31,519 --> 00:04:32,199
Speaker 4: Well I don't.

67
00:04:33,399 --> 00:04:36,319
Speaker 1: Are you saying you have no family, no friends.

68
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,399
Speaker 4: I'm saying there's no one I would care to notify

69
00:04:38,439 --> 00:04:39,920
in the event that something happened to me.

70
00:04:40,519 --> 00:04:42,040
Speaker 1: I find that difficult to believe.

71
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:44,800
Speaker 4: I am all alone in the world.

72
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:46,399
Speaker 1: Well, no one is that alone.

73
00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:47,079
Speaker 4: I am.

74
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:53,879
Speaker 1: Goodbye, But you must fill out the form. All right?

75
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:55,959
Speaker 4: What is your name?

76
00:04:56,199 --> 00:04:56,879
Speaker 2: James Morton?

77
00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:57,639
Speaker 1: All right?

78
00:04:57,959 --> 00:05:02,040
Speaker 4: James? What there you are?

79
00:05:02,800 --> 00:05:03,959
Speaker 2: You can't put my name down?

80
00:05:03,959 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 4: Why not?

81
00:05:04,399 --> 00:05:07,040
Speaker 2: Well, because it has to be someone who knows you.

82
00:05:07,199 --> 00:05:09,160
Speaker 4: Right now, you know more about me than anybody else.

83
00:05:09,199 --> 00:05:11,240
You know my name, my age, my address.

84
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:12,560
Speaker 2: It has to be someone you know.

85
00:05:12,720 --> 00:05:15,319
Speaker 4: I know you as well as I know anywhere.

86
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 2: Miss Miss.

87
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:19,279
Speaker 1: It has to be someone who means something to you.

88
00:05:19,319 --> 00:05:20,920
Speaker 4: No one means more to me than you.

89
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:21,160
Speaker 2: Two.

90
00:05:23,079 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 4: Well, uh, I really need a job, mister Morton. I'll

91
00:05:27,839 --> 00:05:31,279
take anything. I'll go anywhere. So if anything at all

92
00:05:31,319 --> 00:05:35,720
comes up, please call me. Huh, goodbye, miss miss Watson.

93
00:05:35,879 --> 00:05:39,279
Speaker 2: Uh just a minute, did you say you'd go anywhere?

94
00:05:39,319 --> 00:05:39,759
Speaker 4: Anywhere?

95
00:05:39,759 --> 00:05:40,079
Speaker 2: Else?

96
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:45,199
Speaker 1: There may be a job. Okay, But the reason I

97
00:05:45,240 --> 00:05:48,000
didn't think you mentioned it before is you you appear,

98
00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:50,480
you know, to be a very attractive young lady.

99
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 4: Oh.

100
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 1: Yes, and so therefore I naturally assume that you'd be

101
00:05:53,639 --> 00:05:57,600
unwilling to I guess the word is bury yourself on

102
00:05:57,639 --> 00:06:00,000
a small private island off the coast of northern Maine.

103
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 4: And why did you make that assumption?

104
00:06:02,079 --> 00:06:04,959
Speaker 1: I Well, looking at you, I would assume that you

105
00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:07,319
would have a very active, busy social life here in

106
00:06:07,360 --> 00:06:07,720
the city.

107
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 4: I could leave today.

108
00:06:11,360 --> 00:06:14,959
Speaker 1: One of the qualifications for this job is that the

109
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:20,399
lady must have no ties of connections. I'm qualifying as

110
00:06:20,439 --> 00:06:22,959
I understand that an elderly gentleman is writing a book

111
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,279
he requires as secretariat. It would be rather dull those

112
00:06:26,399 --> 00:06:29,680
childs are, and he wouldn't want a young lady who

113
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:31,680
would be bored after a while and quit.

114
00:06:31,759 --> 00:06:32,959
Speaker 4: Well, I couldn't afford to quit.

115
00:06:34,959 --> 00:06:36,680
Speaker 1: Well, aren't you going to ask how much the job

116
00:06:36,680 --> 00:06:37,079
would pay?

117
00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:40,160
Speaker 4: I would expect it to pay as much as my

118
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:40,720
last one.

119
00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:44,399
Speaker 1: The gentleman's attorney is here in town interviewing applicants. I

120
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:47,519
must say he's having difficulty finding someone. His name is

121
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,439
mister Carberry.

122
00:06:53,639 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 2: May I ask if your hair is naturally red, miss Watson.

123
00:06:57,240 --> 00:07:00,600
Speaker 4: And may I ask what business it is of yours,

124
00:07:00,639 --> 00:07:01,360
mister Carbery.

125
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:04,560
Speaker 2: Well, your prospective employer, mister Gleespie, is a rather conservative

126
00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:09,480
gentlemen who becomes upset. That changes well, and you young

127
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:14,439
ladies of today, you're constantly altering your appearance, and mister

128
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:17,319
Gillespie would find that disconcerting.

129
00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:22,560
Speaker 4: So I shall do nothing to disconcert mister Gillespie.

130
00:07:23,839 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 2: I notice you're wearing a dress that, yes, I believe it's.

131
00:07:28,839 --> 00:07:32,319
Speaker 4: The prescribed female attire, and only at dinner the evening.

132
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:36,720
Speaker 2: In the daytime at Rotherwood, young ladies are expected to

133
00:07:36,759 --> 00:07:39,879
wear the other young ladies. Oh no, no, you'll be

134
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:44,199
the young lady. And mister Gillespie is accustomed to seeing

135
00:07:44,199 --> 00:07:50,279
young ladies attired in shirtwaists and skirts. Shirt waist, well,

136
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:51,959
I believe you would call them blouse.

137
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:53,319
Speaker 4: Oh no, I don't think I have any.

138
00:07:53,439 --> 00:07:57,279
Speaker 2: Well, then you'll be surprised with some you see, miss Watson.

139
00:07:57,319 --> 00:08:00,879
Mister Gleespie lives in the past. He chooses to isolate

140
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:05,079
himself on his estate and create an ambience of a

141
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:06,240
bygone era.

142
00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:09,240
Speaker 4: When young ladies wore a shirtwaist precisely.

143
00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 2: Now, if you're afraid that might prove.

144
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 4: Dull Oh no, no, no, really, I have no objection.

145
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:16,560
I'm not looking for excitement.

146
00:08:17,160 --> 00:08:19,720
Speaker 2: One other question. I asked the agency, of course to

147
00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:23,120
screen out of applicants, but one should always double check

148
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:29,399
for oneself. Have you any relatives? No, they're alone in

149
00:08:29,399 --> 00:08:35,039
the world completely. The salary you will admit is rather generous.

150
00:08:35,039 --> 00:08:37,720
We will pay you fifteen thousand a year, plus room

151
00:08:37,759 --> 00:08:40,639
board and expenses. I will require you to sign a

152
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:42,200
two year contract to the object.

153
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:42,840
Speaker 4: Not at all.

154
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 2: Well, then settled. Can you leave on the fifteen?

155
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:48,279
Speaker 4: I can leave sooner.

156
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:51,440
Speaker 2: No, you'll need the time. Now here's a check for

157
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,799
one thousand dollars. You'll have to purchase a suitable wardroom.

158
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:56,799
Speaker 4: Where are all those papers?

159
00:08:57,080 --> 00:08:59,320
Speaker 2: Oh, this is a list of the clothes you should buy,

160
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:03,399
the guide you on color and style. And here are

161
00:09:03,399 --> 00:09:05,559
some photographs.

162
00:09:04,519 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 4: Oh, I don't think any of this is my taste.

163
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:12,639
Speaker 2: But then again, none of it is to be bought

164
00:09:13,200 --> 00:09:14,240
with your money.

165
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:15,960
Speaker 4: I see.

166
00:09:16,919 --> 00:09:20,759
Speaker 2: Well, we shall all get along just splendidly. Now, nine

167
00:09:20,799 --> 00:09:22,919
o'clock in the morning of the fifteenth, you'll go to

168
00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:26,600
the airport to get one sixteen. Mister Glaspie's private plane

169
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:27,519
will be waiting for you.

170
00:09:28,399 --> 00:09:32,039
Speaker 4: How does that square with his old fashioned attitude?

171
00:09:32,879 --> 00:09:47,159
Speaker 2: It's the only concession he makes, the reality.

172
00:09:41,759 --> 00:09:46,360
Speaker 1: You do not like the aroscoon for yours your orton. Oh, oh, yes,

173
00:09:46,399 --> 00:09:49,600
it's fine, but you have not eaten a bie. I

174
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:54,080
have been watching you. You seem to be a thinker tonight. Yes,

175
00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:58,519
young lady came into my office looking for a job today,

176
00:09:58,559 --> 00:10:00,919
and she filled out the usual four in an usual

177
00:10:00,960 --> 00:10:04,200
way until she came to the last line. You know

178
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:07,519
what The last line requires the state. No, it asks

179
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:11,559
her to enlist the person to be notified in case of, well,

180
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:16,039
you know, in case of I know. Well, she said

181
00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:18,519
she had no one to notify. I couldn't believe it.

182
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:23,320
Why is it so difficult to believe? Well, because because

183
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:28,519
everybody has someone a relative or close friends everyone, of

184
00:10:28,600 --> 00:10:34,120
course everyone. Do you, Senor Morton, do you? How do

185
00:10:34,159 --> 00:10:35,440
you ask such a question?

186
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:40,000
Speaker 5: How do you answer it? You come in here almost

187
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:43,440
every knife or dinner. Also on many a Sunday afternoon,

188
00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:46,960
you come alone, so you do not look with your family.

189
00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:50,759
Speaker 1: You are not married. It is obvious you are.

190
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:54,679
Speaker 5: Not keeping company with a young lady. So who is

191
00:10:54,799 --> 00:10:56,240
there for you to notify?

192
00:10:56,799 --> 00:10:59,080
Speaker 2: Well, my partner?

193
00:10:59,279 --> 00:11:03,279
Speaker 1: Why do you say? Well? Did you say my partner?

194
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:05,559
Because outside of the business, we don't know each other.

195
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:07,320
We don't see each other. He's a much older man.

196
00:11:07,360 --> 00:11:09,320
We have nothing in common except the fact we seemed

197
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:11,879
to be able to run a profitable business.

198
00:11:12,279 --> 00:11:16,559
Speaker 5: If, and I pray shall never come to Pus, you

199
00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:18,320
should meet with a misfortune.

200
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:22,600
Speaker 1: Who would grief for you? Who would missed you? And,

201
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:26,039
now that I think of it, Senor Spinana, if if

202
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:27,759
I had to fill out that for him, I would

203
00:11:27,759 --> 00:11:33,759
put down your name. Tell me about the young lady

204
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:38,759
whose name? The she finally put down, Well, she insisted

205
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:41,440
she didn't know anyone. I said, we had to have someone,

206
00:11:41,519 --> 00:11:44,320
So she wrote down my name. Ah, and she fell

207
00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:45,200
in love with you.

208
00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 2: Ah, that's ridiculous.

209
00:11:49,039 --> 00:11:50,960
Speaker 1: Why yes, would she write your name down?

210
00:11:51,200 --> 00:11:53,720
Speaker 2: Because because she had to write down something and I was.

211
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,679
Speaker 5: Sitting there, no senor more tona. She looked at you,

212
00:11:56,799 --> 00:12:00,679
and certainly her heart was lost. Aw, come on, she

213
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:04,080
may not know this yet, but that is why she

214
00:12:04,399 --> 00:12:05,399
wrote your name.

215
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:20,879
Speaker 4: Easy to be your quarters? Oh oh my, it's lovely. Well,

216
00:12:20,919 --> 00:12:24,440
thank you, missus Dingley. I'm sure I'll be very happy here.

217
00:12:24,919 --> 00:12:25,080
Speaker 1: Ah.

218
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:29,039
Speaker 5: Yeah, of course I expected a room, but this is

219
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:30,120
the whole suite.

220
00:12:30,519 --> 00:12:33,200
Speaker 4: Don't let it go to your head. Well I did?

221
00:12:34,360 --> 00:12:35,879
Speaker 6: Did they say you were to have dinner in the

222
00:12:35,919 --> 00:12:39,320
main hold tonight? Well, frankly, I don't be frank with me.

223
00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:41,440
Speaker 1: Because I'm not going to be frank with you.

224
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,360
Speaker 4: Well, what do you I don't understand.

225
00:12:45,519 --> 00:12:50,200
Speaker 6: I'm telling you right off. I'm not on your side side.

226
00:12:51,200 --> 00:12:52,559
I don't know anything about sides.

227
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:54,879
Speaker 1: I just got here.

228
00:12:55,440 --> 00:12:58,799
Speaker 6: When you've got big eyes and they can get very round.

229
00:13:00,080 --> 00:13:02,000
But I don't think it'll help you any more than

230
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:03,480
it helped all the other girls.

231
00:13:03,799 --> 00:13:04,559
Speaker 4: What other girls?

232
00:13:04,840 --> 00:13:07,200
Speaker 6: He's coming here now, and here's steps in the car.

233
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:11,000
Who's coming conscious pilot?

234
00:13:11,519 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 2: Ah, welcome to Rotherwood. Miss Watson, I see you've met

235
00:13:15,440 --> 00:13:20,240
our Missus Damer, probably the best housekeeper in the entire state. Now,

236
00:13:20,279 --> 00:13:21,720
will you excuse us missus Damon?

237
00:13:22,279 --> 00:13:24,159
Speaker 4: Is she going to eat in the great hole tonight?

238
00:13:24,519 --> 00:13:24,759
Speaker 2: Oh?

239
00:13:24,879 --> 00:13:27,399
Speaker 4: No ah, I can see why.

240
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:28,879
Speaker 1: She isn't ready yet.

241
00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,159
Speaker 2: I believe that will be all Missus Deamon. I give

242
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:33,320
her a You are excused, Missus Damon.

243
00:13:33,519 --> 00:13:34,679
Speaker 4: She'll get wise to you.

244
00:13:35,200 --> 00:13:36,759
Speaker 2: The old man will get Missus Deamer.

245
00:13:37,399 --> 00:13:39,600
Speaker 4: All right, all right, I'm leaving.

246
00:13:41,279 --> 00:13:43,360
Speaker 2: Well, did you have a pleasant flight?

247
00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:44,360
Speaker 4: Yes?

248
00:13:44,519 --> 00:13:48,360
Speaker 2: Find your quarter satisfactory? Oh? Very, We want you to

249
00:13:48,399 --> 00:13:49,000
be comfortable.

250
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:54,879
Speaker 4: Oh will you answer a question, mister carper Ollo good?

251
00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:07,159
Would you tell me just what is going on around here? Anyhow? What?

252
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:11,919
Speaker 3: Indeed, now you must admit we've given you several basic

253
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:15,759
facts to chew on. For instance, why would they want

254
00:14:15,799 --> 00:14:19,919
a girl who has no ties at all? Why are

255
00:14:19,919 --> 00:14:24,240
they offering such an attractive salary? Who is missus Damler,

256
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:31,559
who's the old man? What sides are there in conflict here? Well,

257
00:14:31,879 --> 00:14:36,679
in the first act you present. In the second you unfold,

258
00:14:37,679 --> 00:14:41,279
and I shall take you into my confidence after your

259
00:14:41,559 --> 00:15:00,799
announcer takes you into his Why would a girl, an attractive,

260
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:06,320
desirable girl, cut herself off from all social opportunities and

261
00:15:06,399 --> 00:15:09,159
take a job in a mansion on an island off

262
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:13,399
the coast of Maine. Why would her employer insist on

263
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:18,039
a girl whose absence would in effect cause no concern

264
00:15:18,279 --> 00:15:23,279
to anyone. Well, that's how jobs are filled, No, by

265
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:27,559
employers and employees who fill each other's needs.

266
00:15:27,879 --> 00:15:31,559
Speaker 4: Mister Calbery, tell me what is going on around here?

267
00:15:31,759 --> 00:15:36,000
Why did missus Damler say I wasn't ready ready for

268
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:36,440
a quie?

269
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:38,519
Speaker 2: Oh you must listen to what missus Damer says.

270
00:15:38,919 --> 00:15:41,480
Speaker 4: Missus Damler implied that there was a whole series of

271
00:15:41,519 --> 00:15:42,879
girls hired before me.

272
00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:48,639
Speaker 2: Ah, yes, unfortunately none of them proved satisfactory. Why the

273
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:53,879
job will require infinite delicacy and texts?

274
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 4: Describe the job.

275
00:15:57,840 --> 00:15:59,559
Speaker 2: You're to help mister Glasbie with his book.

276
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:02,360
Speaker 4: When do I meet mister Gillespie?

277
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:07,159
Speaker 2: Ah, Miss Watson, mister Gillespie must be humored at all times.

278
00:16:07,279 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 4: Well, I'm not sure I'm willing to.

279
00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 2: It's part of your job.

280
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 1: Now.

281
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:15,559
Speaker 2: When you were introduced to him, he will call you Regina.

282
00:16:16,519 --> 00:16:19,120
Why because that's who he will think you are?

283
00:16:20,399 --> 00:16:20,679
Speaker 4: Again?

284
00:16:20,799 --> 00:16:25,919
Speaker 2: Why because you look like Regina Regina. Who a Miss

285
00:16:25,919 --> 00:16:26,840
Regina Trumble?

286
00:16:29,039 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 4: Tell me, mister Carbery, is that why I was hired?

287
00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 1: Yes, well I think.

288
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:37,840
Speaker 4: I should like to leave it.

289
00:16:37,919 --> 00:16:40,519
Speaker 2: Once you've signed a contract, I can't be.

290
00:16:40,519 --> 00:16:42,720
Speaker 4: Held in that contract. I wasn't aware of all the facts.

291
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:45,639
Speaker 2: You signed the contract to be mister Gillespie's secretary. That's

292
00:16:45,679 --> 00:16:46,679
the only fact.

293
00:16:46,759 --> 00:16:50,559
Speaker 4: Then why must I pose as Miss Regina Trumble to

294
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:53,840
make it possible to perform your duties? You see, mister

295
00:16:53,879 --> 00:16:56,879
Gillespie could only feel comfortable with Miss Regina Trumbull. Then

296
00:16:56,919 --> 00:16:58,159
why not hire miss Trumble?

297
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:01,559
Speaker 2: She many years ago?

298
00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:03,799
Speaker 4: Then how can you make mister.

299
00:17:03,559 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 2: Gillespie Gillespie has never been able to accept the fact

300
00:17:06,759 --> 00:17:07,359
of her death.

301
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:14,880
Speaker 4: You're not You're not up to anything illegal here?

302
00:17:16,440 --> 00:17:20,680
Speaker 2: Oh, I assure you everything is completely above board.

303
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,799
Speaker 1: You got a minute, Frank, Yeah, sure, you remember that

304
00:17:27,839 --> 00:17:29,720
girl we sent up the Maine.

305
00:17:30,039 --> 00:17:32,640
Speaker 2: Hmhm oh yeah, that was a good commissioner out.

306
00:17:32,519 --> 00:17:35,200
Speaker 1: Of door for just the secretary. That's what bothers. Why

307
00:17:35,200 --> 00:17:38,720
should it bother Why should they want to pay so high? Well,

308
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:41,240
there is way up at the end of nowhere. Even

309
00:17:41,319 --> 00:17:44,279
so throw in room board expensive it's worth another fivey

310
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:46,480
twenty thousand for a secretary.

311
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:48,759
Speaker 2: Why is that our business?

312
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:51,519
Speaker 1: And why did they insist on a girl who's all

313
00:17:51,559 --> 00:17:52,359
alone in the world.

314
00:17:52,599 --> 00:17:54,640
Speaker 2: The man's got a right to set up the requirements

315
00:17:54,680 --> 00:17:56,000
if he's willing to pay the prices.

316
00:17:56,119 --> 00:18:01,640
Speaker 1: Frank, if that girl would have disappeared about why would

317
00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:02,400
she disapree?

318
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:06,759
Speaker 2: I'm woman speculating. Well, quiet, the girl's gone, isn't she.

319
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,720
Speaker 1: We're through with her. That's hardly the way to put it.

320
00:18:09,799 --> 00:18:12,880
Speaker 2: No, what other way is there but you and me.

321
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:15,119
We've been part as close to ten years and we

322
00:18:15,240 --> 00:18:18,880
went pretty successful. Why we have nothing to do with

323
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:22,480
each other outside of the office. But for the first time,

324
00:18:22,519 --> 00:18:26,160
I'm going to say something personal to you. Get married.

325
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:27,519
Get married.

326
00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:28,160
Speaker 4: You don't have.

327
00:18:28,119 --> 00:18:30,960
Speaker 2: Anything against women, do you know who? Well, then get married.

328
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:34,960
It's economical, it's practical, and you won't have to make

329
00:18:35,039 --> 00:18:38,200
up fantasy stories about every good looking dame who walks

330
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:48,480
in here. Oh, good balling, miss Watson.

331
00:18:49,039 --> 00:18:49,640
Speaker 4: Good morning.

332
00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:53,680
Speaker 2: I'm sure you slept well. The ocean air here is

333
00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:55,400
so invigorating.

334
00:18:55,759 --> 00:18:57,559
Speaker 4: As a matter of fact, I slept poorly.

335
00:18:57,640 --> 00:18:58,559
Speaker 2: Oh no, I'm sorry.

336
00:18:58,599 --> 00:19:03,000
Speaker 4: Why this morning before breakfast I went for a walk.

337
00:19:03,039 --> 00:19:04,920
Speaker 2: Oh no, that's an excellent practice.

338
00:19:05,480 --> 00:19:09,039
Speaker 4: We're on an island completely out side of the coastal.

339
00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:13,160
Speaker 2: Of course, privacy is essential for mister Glass and the only.

340
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:17,440
Speaker 4: Way off is by boat. There are several boats tied

341
00:19:17,519 --> 00:19:20,279
up to a dock and a man is there and

342
00:19:20,319 --> 00:19:21,039
he has a gun.

343
00:19:21,599 --> 00:19:23,640
Speaker 2: Oh, yes, that's mister Spencer.

344
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 4: And I told him that I wanted to take a

345
00:19:26,519 --> 00:19:30,440
boat out for a while. Why did he refuse me?

346
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:36,599
Speaker 2: Those are his orders? Why you'll understand them? And time?

347
00:19:37,599 --> 00:19:41,480
Speaker 4: And then when I returned to the house, I picked

348
00:19:41,519 --> 00:19:45,400
up the telephone to do Yes. I wanted to call

349
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:48,559
the sheriff and tell him that I'm being held here,

350
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:51,960
but I couldn't get him outside line.

351
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:55,279
Speaker 2: I know there's only one outside line and it's locked.

352
00:19:55,319 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 4: Am I Am I a prisoner?

353
00:19:59,200 --> 00:19:59,759
Speaker 1: Of course not?

354
00:20:01,079 --> 00:20:02,920
Speaker 4: Then why do you refuse to let me leave?

355
00:20:03,519 --> 00:20:08,079
Speaker 2: You will leave at the proper time, and when will

356
00:20:08,119 --> 00:20:11,759
that be when the job is finished?

357
00:20:12,599 --> 00:20:14,440
Speaker 4: Then how can you say I'm not.

358
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,079
Speaker 2: A prisoner a young lady? The job has certain conditions.

359
00:20:17,079 --> 00:20:18,160
Speaker 4: Why weren't they explained to you?

360
00:20:18,319 --> 00:20:20,480
Speaker 2: They were stated in the contract. It's no one's fault

361
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:21,720
but yours if you didn't read it.

362
00:20:21,759 --> 00:20:25,680
Speaker 4: And suppose I refuse to perform any service.

363
00:20:25,359 --> 00:20:28,640
Speaker 2: That would not be in your best interests. I would

364
00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:32,920
advise you to do as you're told or else. Why

365
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:38,480
do you insist on proposing all these hypothetical conditions? Well,

366
00:20:38,519 --> 00:20:42,079
if we're finished with breakfast, would you care to meet

367
00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:43,000
mister Gillespie.

368
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:51,400
Speaker 1: It says here on your application that you worked for

369
00:20:51,559 --> 00:20:53,160
Stair at Valentine is common.

370
00:20:53,119 --> 00:20:56,480
Speaker 6: Till they went busted. I should have seen the handwriting

371
00:20:56,519 --> 00:21:01,039
on the wall. But they offer this profit share intension plan.

372
00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,200
Speaker 4: What's the difference? Stole down the drain? Now?

373
00:21:04,680 --> 00:21:05,039
Speaker 2: Would you?

374
00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:08,319
Speaker 1: Did you know a miss Sarah Watson?

375
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:09,599
Speaker 4: Sarah? Oh? Sure?

376
00:21:10,359 --> 00:21:12,200
Speaker 2: What type of person was she?

377
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:13,480
Speaker 4: I don't know.

378
00:21:14,559 --> 00:21:16,960
Speaker 6: I mean she worked the next best to mine for

379
00:21:17,039 --> 00:21:19,519
five years, but I never got to know her.

380
00:21:19,720 --> 00:21:20,160
Speaker 2: Why not.

381
00:21:21,839 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 4: The rest of the girls and I we figured it

382
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:24,680
out finally.

383
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:27,599
Speaker 1: She was a loaner, a loner.

384
00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:30,079
Speaker 4: Well, if there are some people in this world they're

385
00:21:30,079 --> 00:21:33,839
just loaners, they won't or they can't make friends.

386
00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:36,599
Speaker 2: You know, Yeah, I know.

387
00:21:36,839 --> 00:21:38,079
Speaker 4: Well I had to bring.

388
00:21:37,920 --> 00:21:40,599
Speaker 6: Her form over the personnel and you know that place

389
00:21:40,599 --> 00:21:42,440
where it says person to be notified.

390
00:21:42,559 --> 00:21:46,119
Speaker 4: Yeah, she left a blank. So I reminded her and

391
00:21:46,759 --> 00:21:48,279
she said she had no family.

392
00:21:48,799 --> 00:21:49,319
Speaker 2: Was it true?

393
00:21:50,240 --> 00:21:53,680
Speaker 4: Yeah, I guess she had no friends that anybody knew.

394
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:55,359
Speaker 2: I don't know.

395
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:57,359
Speaker 4: Some people just can't seem to.

396
00:21:57,319 --> 00:22:00,799
Speaker 6: Reach out and connect with other people, maybe if they

397
00:22:00,839 --> 00:22:03,440
ready were brought up or what brought up?

398
00:22:03,599 --> 00:22:04,240

Speaker 6: Mister Cowbery has got some business depend on the old

438
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:02,559
Man's hired, So we aren't going to have a big

439
00:25:02,640 --> 00:25:08,559
formal dinner. Listen, I was wrong about you. Oh I

440
00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:10,680
heard how you spoke to the old man this afternoon.

441
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,160
Speaker 4: I didn't know. Oh, I get to hear everything.

442
00:25:14,559 --> 00:25:17,960
Speaker 6: You're all right, you aren't in on it, in on

443
00:25:18,240 --> 00:25:21,799
what whatever it is Carberry's got in mind, and the

444
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:24,000
other girls who came here, they must have been willing

445
00:25:24,079 --> 00:25:24,759
to go along?

446
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:27,119
Speaker 4: What do you mean by going along?

447
00:25:27,279 --> 00:25:31,440
Speaker 6: Look, I've been working here thirty years now, maybe well

448
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:34,200
ten years ago. Mister Carberry gets to be the old

449
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:38,759
man's lawyer. Suddenly the old man goes crazy. You see him,

450
00:25:38,799 --> 00:25:39,839
he's off the deep end.

451
00:25:40,039 --> 00:25:43,640
Speaker 4: Well he's senile, isn't he? He must be well over eighty.

452
00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:45,799
Speaker 1: He was a young man the day I came to

453
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:46,279
work here.

454
00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:48,720
Speaker 4: He was no older than me. He can't even be

455
00:25:48,839 --> 00:25:50,960
sixty yet. Oh but that's hard to go. I figured

456
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:54,960
it out. Carburry's got him on some kind of a drug.

457
00:25:55,720 --> 00:26:00,400
Oh well, what are we going to do? Have to

458
00:26:00,559 --> 00:26:01,200
get out of here?

459
00:26:01,759 --> 00:26:04,359
Speaker 1: And how the boats are locked up?

460
00:26:04,519 --> 00:26:06,359
Speaker 4: I have a key here here you take.

461
00:26:06,599 --> 00:26:07,319
Speaker 1: What are they going to do?

462
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:08,720
Speaker 4: And we'll go to town.

463
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:10,240
Speaker 1: Try to talk to the sheriff.

464
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:11,279
Speaker 4: Will he believe us?

465
00:26:11,839 --> 00:26:14,599
Speaker 1: I got a bottle of the drugs that Cowbery's been using.

466
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:15,680
Speaker 4: He'll have to believe us.

467
00:26:16,119 --> 00:26:18,960
Speaker 6: Why did you wait so arm? I wasn't sure until

468
00:26:19,039 --> 00:26:23,599
just now. And look, we'll wait till for about midnight.

469
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:26,720
Then you'll come by my room and we'll head for

470
00:26:26,839 --> 00:26:27,240
the duck.

471
00:26:32,119 --> 00:26:39,079
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, you're a regina, I'm sure of it. Do

472
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:41,680
you remember what I said about the diamonds?

473
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:43,400
Speaker 4: The diamonds?

474
00:26:43,960 --> 00:26:46,880
Speaker 1: You don't remember the diamonds. How could you forget the diamonds?

475
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:47,440
Speaker 2: Eh?

476
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:50,039
Speaker 1: After all, they are your diamonds.

477
00:26:50,599 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 4: Oh uh, the diamonds. Yes, yes, mister Gillespie.

478
00:26:55,319 --> 00:26:58,319
Speaker 1: Ooh, it isn't right for you to call me mister

479
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:02,279
Gilleshpie after what we've been to each other.

480
00:27:03,359 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 2: I should think Edmund would be Robert.

481
00:27:08,559 --> 00:27:08,680
Speaker 3: Uh.

482
00:27:10,279 --> 00:27:15,640
Speaker 1: Edmund I was wrong about the diamonds. He said a

483
00:27:15,759 --> 00:27:19,480
million dollars invested in diamonds to be dead money put

484
00:27:19,519 --> 00:27:23,119
it in the market world. As it happened, the diamonds

485
00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:29,359
have crippled in value, just the times, I suppose.

486
00:27:30,559 --> 00:27:31,079

00:28:30,559 --> 00:28:36,640
Speaker 3: Notice how mister Carberry phrases these things. Well, obviously she's dead,

499
00:28:37,519 --> 00:28:41,839
The question is how and by whose hand? Well, you

500
00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:46,160
can expect the unusual to happen on remote islands. Other

501
00:28:46,279 --> 00:28:49,880
things are also scheduled to happen. When I returned to

502
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:53,039
you in just a few moments with Act three, when

503
00:29:08,319 --> 00:29:12,319
our miss Sarah Watson finds herself virtually alone on a

504
00:29:12,400 --> 00:29:16,599
small island off the lonely coast of Northern Man and

505
00:29:16,880 --> 00:29:21,880
the truth she feels like an island, isolated and alone.

506
00:29:22,799 --> 00:29:26,440
But wait, isn't it written that no man is an island,

507
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:30,839
that there is a tie that binds all of us together.

508
00:29:31,599 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 2: Yes, it's written.

509
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:38,079
Speaker 1: However, how about those people like Sarah Watson.

510
00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:41,759
Speaker 3: Who have no ties at all, no bonds to anyone.

511
00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:46,960
Well that's what she thinks, but you never know.

512
00:29:47,880 --> 00:29:53,279
Speaker 4: She's dead. Missus Damer is dead. I was talking to

513
00:29:53,359 --> 00:29:54,920
her earlier this evening.

514
00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:57,680
Speaker 2: How could it must have been the heart attack?

515
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:01,240
Speaker 4: How could a woman with a party at condition perform

516
00:30:01,319 --> 00:30:02,960
all her duties as a housekeeper?

517
00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:07,759
Speaker 1: Then she didn't die of a heart attack, Oh what

518
00:30:08,319 --> 00:30:09,079
did she die of?

519
00:30:09,480 --> 00:30:12,279
Speaker 2: Well, perhaps she died of a very dangerous disease, which

520
00:30:12,359 --> 00:30:16,960
I hope is not contagious. What disease indiscretion.

521
00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:22,119
Speaker 4: Well, if it was murder, I'm sure that you killed her,

522
00:30:22,279 --> 00:30:25,119
are you? And you're going to have to call a doctor?

523
00:30:25,119 --> 00:30:26,799
Speaker 1: Why to sign the death certificate?

524
00:30:26,920 --> 00:30:27,720
Speaker 2: Who died?

525
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 4: Who died? Missus Daimler, Oh, my.

526
00:30:33,000 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 2: Dear, she didn't. She left here last week to live

527
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:37,960
with relatives in the far West. But the three days

528
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,920
I can prove it. Here's the copy of the local

529
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:44,599
paper dated last week. You've seen this social note writer,

530
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:45,480
you read it.

531
00:30:46,519 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 4: Missus Aucust Daimler, for many years, housekeeper to mister Edmund

532
00:30:51,240 --> 00:30:56,440
Gillespie on Rodwood Island, has announced her retirement. She is

533
00:30:56,559 --> 00:30:59,119
leaving to live with relatives in Oregon.

534
00:30:59,599 --> 00:31:02,440
Speaker 2: But there it had become obvious a little while ago

535
00:31:02,519 --> 00:31:06,240
that Missus Damner might become a problem. So last week

536
00:31:06,319 --> 00:31:10,519
we took the precaution of what should we say? Being prepared?

537
00:31:11,079 --> 00:31:13,480
Speaker 1: Oh, you won't get away with it? Get away with what?

538
00:31:15,160 --> 00:31:16,880
Speaker 2: Why don't you get some breast? Miss Watson, you have

539
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:20,480
a busy day tomorrow. And oh yes, but by may

540
00:31:20,559 --> 00:31:22,599
I am they have a key?

541
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:24,799
Speaker 4: What key.

542
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 2: To the book chain? Let me see, I think I'll

543
00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:37,599
have what do you suggest this evening?

544
00:31:38,119 --> 00:31:38,519
Speaker 1: Nothing?

545
00:31:39,079 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 2: Nothing?

546
00:31:40,039 --> 00:31:43,119
Speaker 1: It is They seem to waste good food. Well, if

547
00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:47,319
plus weeks you order, I serve you do not touch.

548
00:31:48,119 --> 00:31:53,960
You are in love. I have a feeling that she's

549
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:58,200
in danger. If you have a feeling, then it is true.

550
00:31:58,279 --> 00:32:00,519
But I don't even know what to do with You

551
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:03,079
have no choice. You must save her.

552
00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:10,839
Speaker 5: You have grounds for suspicion, yes, And you sit here

553
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:13,079
while your loved one is imperial?

554
00:32:13,240 --> 00:32:15,559
Speaker 1: Who says she's my loved one? Why do you keep

555
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:16,599
thinking about her?

556
00:32:17,200 --> 00:32:17,240
Speaker 2: No?

557
00:32:17,920 --> 00:32:21,240
Speaker 1: I shall feed you enough to arm you for your john.

558
00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:25,079
But she she's two thousand miles from here. I love

559
00:32:25,359 --> 00:32:30,160
love a distance. And see you are smiling already.

560
00:32:30,920 --> 00:32:31,440
Speaker 4: Go to her.

561
00:32:32,200 --> 00:32:34,839
Speaker 1: She wrote your name, she calls you.

562
00:32:35,880 --> 00:32:44,319
Speaker 2: She needs you. A dazzling morning, isn't business?

563
00:32:44,359 --> 00:32:44,599
Speaker 1: Boss?

564
00:32:44,880 --> 00:32:48,440
Speaker 4: I watched you and mister Spencer and those other men,

565
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:51,559
and I saw you burry missus Damon.

566
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:54,119
Speaker 2: At the risk of telling an old joke at a

567
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:56,599
serious moment we had to dead.

568
00:32:56,759 --> 00:33:00,079
Speaker 4: You know, now, what are your plans from me?

569
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:02,000
Speaker 2: Before? That depends on you?

570
00:33:03,039 --> 00:33:03,920
Speaker 4: What am I supposed to do?

571
00:33:04,599 --> 00:33:07,640
Speaker 2: Just have, mister Gleslie go on thinking your Regina?

572
00:33:08,519 --> 00:33:10,640
Speaker 4: And what about the diamonds?

573
00:33:11,119 --> 00:33:15,599
Speaker 2: The diamonds, Well, you see, mister Glasbie was Regina Trumbull's guardian.

574
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:18,160
Her father had entrusted him with a million dollars worth

575
00:33:18,160 --> 00:33:20,519
of diamonds to be held for her until her twenty

576
00:33:20,559 --> 00:33:24,759
fifth birthday. He fell in love with her, but she

577
00:33:25,440 --> 00:33:29,000
died in an accident. He went to pieces. After that,

578
00:33:29,599 --> 00:33:32,759
he shut himself up on this island, and well, as

579
00:33:32,799 --> 00:33:35,200
you can see, he lost his mind.

580
00:33:35,599 --> 00:33:39,599
Speaker 4: Yes, and I'll tell you what else I see. I

581
00:33:39,839 --> 00:33:42,799
see that After a while he started to get his

582
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:47,359
mind back. But then you came into the picture. You

583
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:50,039
are making sure that he doesn't recover his sanity.

584
00:33:50,599 --> 00:33:51,759
Speaker 1: Why would I do that?

585
00:33:52,039 --> 00:33:54,480
Speaker 4: Because if you could get him to believe that I

586
00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:59,400
am Regina, you'll give me those diamonds and then you

587
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:00,559
can get you your hands on.

588
00:34:02,359 --> 00:34:04,759
Speaker 2: I must say, miss Watson, you have an incisive mind.

589
00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:09,159
Speaker 4: The diamonds are hidden here somewhere. He won't tell you

590
00:34:10,079 --> 00:34:12,800
and you can't force it out of him. So that's

591
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:13,679
why you need me.

592
00:34:13,960 --> 00:34:19,239
Speaker 1: Oh yes, you are vittles vitals meaning alive. How do

593
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:20,639
you know you can trust me?

594
00:34:21,079 --> 00:34:22,960
Speaker 2: We would make it worth your while. We would give

595
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:25,159
you a considerable sum of money.

596
00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:27,079
Speaker 4: Why should you do that? Why not just kill me?

597
00:34:27,639 --> 00:34:31,679
Speaker 2: Miss Watson? I am not in the murder business. I

598
00:34:31,920 --> 00:34:35,880
only will commit a crime when I have absolutely no alternative.

599
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:39,519
Speaker 4: And how do I know that I can trust you?

600
00:34:40,760 --> 00:34:50,239
Speaker 2: You have no other route to travel, So you think.

601
00:34:50,119 --> 00:34:52,400
Speaker 5: There's something going on over to Rutford Island.

602
00:34:52,519 --> 00:34:54,320
Speaker 2: That's exactly what I think, Sheriff.

603
00:34:54,559 --> 00:34:56,719
Speaker 5: I must say, you don't give much evidence.

604
00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:01,280
Speaker 1: Not tall tell true, Sheriff, I traveled Almos two thousand miles.

605
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:04,199
Run a hunch. Well, what do you want me to do?

606
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:05,639
Find out if she's all right?

607
00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:10,199
Speaker 5: We'll search the place, Sir, you've been watching too many movies.

608
00:35:11,079 --> 00:35:14,079
You don't trespire us all over man's property and turn

609
00:35:14,159 --> 00:35:16,679

Speaker 4: How could you leave?

00:37:47,400 --> 00:37:49,400
Speaker 2: Why would the sheriff come here because I spoke to

662
00:37:49,480 --> 00:37:53,320
him earlier? Huh, Well, then he won't find you here.

663
00:37:53,440 --> 00:37:54,519
Speaker 1: You'll find my boat.

664
00:37:54,639 --> 00:37:59,679
Speaker 2: No, mister Spencer already has it. Well, hit and don't scream.

665
00:38:00,039 --> 00:38:05,639
Miss Spencer would shoot you immediately. I'm a suspenser. Suppose

666
00:38:05,679 --> 00:38:13,239
I see who was at the door. You have your instructions. Oh,

667
00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:15,880
I know, Sheriff. I haven't seen the young man.

668
00:38:16,199 --> 00:38:20,719
Speaker 1: Funny Chris warn he'd come out here for what reason?

669
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:22,719
I wouldn't know. You say this.

670
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:25,079
Speaker 5: Miss Watson left right after she got here.

671
00:38:25,559 --> 00:38:30,719
Speaker 2: That's right. We were completely incompatible. How's mister Gillespie these days?

672
00:38:30,760 --> 00:38:36,199
We never see him? Poor old man who completely seen now. Yeah, Well,

673
00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:39,320
is there anything else I can do for you?

674
00:38:39,760 --> 00:38:43,480
Speaker 5: Yeah, you can produce both the girl and mister Morton.

675
00:38:44,199 --> 00:38:45,679
Speaker 2: Wait a minute, JERVI tol them.

676
00:38:45,800 --> 00:38:48,000
Speaker 5: Powers told me the young fellow rented a boat off

677
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:50,480
from him just a while back and took off headed

678
00:38:50,519 --> 00:38:50,880
this way.

679
00:38:51,079 --> 00:38:52,719
Speaker 2: I assure you he never got here.

680
00:38:52,880 --> 00:38:57,440
Speaker 5: Oh he got here, and the girls here too. I

681
00:38:57,639 --> 00:39:04,800
ain't no one here, ha, nake it up, now, break

682
00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:06,119
it up, man.

683
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:07,960
Speaker 4: He tried to use me.

684
00:39:09,760 --> 00:39:10,000
Speaker 1: Where.

685
00:39:10,800 --> 00:39:13,639
Speaker 5: Looks like mister Spencer won't be able to say anything

686
00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:14,199
for a while.

687
00:39:14,519 --> 00:39:15,960
Speaker 4: I jumped at him. He fired.

688
00:39:16,039 --> 00:39:18,280
Speaker 1: They were going to kill it.

689
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:21,039
Speaker 4: No, but it's all going to be fine.

690
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:24,599
Speaker 5: Mister Carberry heroborably as figure and he can make a

691
00:39:24,679 --> 00:39:27,480
run for it, but he's got nowhere to go. I

692
00:39:28,079 --> 00:39:29,440
left a deputy on the dock.

693
00:39:29,679 --> 00:39:31,480
Speaker 1: Why did you What did you come here, sheriff?

694
00:39:31,639 --> 00:39:33,760
Speaker 5: Where sounded like a while?

695
00:39:33,920 --> 00:39:34,159
Speaker 1: Yawn?

696
00:39:35,039 --> 00:39:37,360
Speaker 5: Then I read that contract you left me, the one

697
00:39:37,400 --> 00:39:39,320
your agency signed with mister Carberry.

698
00:39:39,719 --> 00:39:42,639
Speaker 1: The contract all that defined was what mister Carberry oedis

699
00:39:42,679 --> 00:39:45,559
in the event we filled his job to standard agreement.

700
00:39:45,599 --> 00:39:48,480
Speaker 5: According to the agreement, he had to pay you six

701
00:39:48,559 --> 00:39:52,199
percent of fifteen thousand dollars. That's nine hundred. If for

702
00:39:52,320 --> 00:39:55,239
any reason the applicant lasts less than a week, you

703
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:58,000
have to refund him two thirds of that amount. Now,

704
00:39:58,280 --> 00:40:00,760
if miss Watson left what he played after a couple

705
00:40:00,800 --> 00:40:03,880
of days, you'd devoted him six hundred dollars.

706
00:40:04,280 --> 00:40:04,920
Speaker 2: Well, that's right.

707
00:40:05,079 --> 00:40:08,079
Speaker 5: You never mentioned he claimed the money, and since you didn't,

708
00:40:08,599 --> 00:40:12,000
as soon she was still here. Now, I don't know

709
00:40:12,119 --> 00:40:14,159
how it is down You're part of the country, but

710
00:40:14,360 --> 00:40:17,199
there ain't one single solitary living sowing up in these

711
00:40:17,320 --> 00:40:22,400
parts that let six hundred dollars sit there whistling. Well, uh,

712
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:25,480
clear things up downstairs and give you a chance to

713
00:40:25,599 --> 00:40:30,440
talk to your girl, my girl, long steer, don't you?

714
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:31,559
Speaker 2: Well?

715
00:40:32,559 --> 00:40:36,079
Speaker 4: Of course I do. Why else would I have named

716
00:40:36,159 --> 00:40:38,440
him as the person to be.

717
00:40:38,559 --> 00:40:51,239
Speaker 3: Notified Department of Loose Ends. An autopsy was performed on

718
00:40:51,320 --> 00:40:55,719
missus Damer. It was established that she was poisoned. Mister

719
00:40:55,880 --> 00:41:00,559
Carbury and company will stand trial for that one. Gillespie

720
00:41:00,679 --> 00:41:03,800
was placed in a hospital where, with good care and treatment.

721
00:41:03,519 --> 00:41:05,960
Speaker 1: He has a chance to recover all his faculties.

722
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:10,360
Speaker 3: At this writing, he still cannot remember where the diamonds

723
00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:14,119
are hidden. If I have to tell you what happened

724
00:41:14,159 --> 00:41:17,599
is Sarah and James, then you don't have an ounce

725
00:41:17,679 --> 00:41:21,079
of romance in your soul, and I give up, but

726
00:41:21,239 --> 00:41:22,440
only for a few moments.

727
00:41:35,119 --> 00:41:38,719
Speaker 2: Actually, what we were talking about was not jobs.

728
00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:42,480
Speaker 3: Or intrigue or murder, even though they were prominently featured.

729
00:41:43,079 --> 00:41:46,079
Our theme was loneliness and it was a tale of

730
00:41:46,199 --> 00:41:48,519
so many people who really.

731
00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:52,000
Speaker 2: Have no anchor to love and security in our world.

732
00:41:52,840 --> 00:41:55,599
Speaker 3: And if you are one of the fortunates, if you

733
00:41:55,880 --> 00:41:59,519
can fill the space that says person to be notified,

734
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:03,920
then you have the best of this world. If, on

735
00:42:04,039 --> 00:42:08,360
the other hand, you really can't fill that space, then

736
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:11,719
go out and change that situation.

737
00:42:13,239 --> 00:42:14,559
Speaker 1: Our cast included.
