00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:19,039
Speaker 1: The CBS Radio Mystery Theater presents.

2
00:00:20,839 --> 00:00:25,960
Speaker 2: Come in, Welcome, i'my G.

3
00:00:26,199 --> 00:00:30,480
Speaker 3: Marshall. For centuries we have heard of the search for.

4
00:00:30,440 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 4: The fountain of youth, for the magic elixir of life eternal. Oh,

5
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:39,759
to be young, always, to hold age and death at

6
00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:40,600
arm's length.

7
00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:43,880
Speaker 3: Put it this way, if you could.

8
00:00:43,799 --> 00:00:47,719
Speaker 4: Live forever, would you want a word of caution before

9
00:00:47,759 --> 00:00:51,399
you reply? What might seem at first blush to be

10
00:00:51,439 --> 00:00:55,960
a vision of delight could also be a reality of horror.

11
00:00:56,520 --> 00:01:00,479
Speaker 5: I just thought i'd call I'm your neighbor. Welcome to

12
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:01,280
Lake Raymond.

13
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:04,599
Speaker 2: Thank you, wild you come in, missus Mallory, missus Mallory.

14
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:06,840
Eleanor has gone to town on an air.

15
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:11,799
Speaker 5: Such a lovely looking child must be wonderful to have

16
00:01:11,879 --> 00:01:13,040
a granddaughter like that.

17
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:14,519
Speaker 2: Granddaughter.

18
00:01:14,959 --> 00:01:16,879
Speaker 6: Well, she is your granddaughter, ain't she?

19
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 2: Eleanor happens to be my wife?

20
00:01:20,519 --> 00:01:22,280
Speaker 6: Oh?

21
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 2: Well, I.

22
00:01:24,519 --> 00:01:25,680
Speaker 6: Me and my big mouth.

23
00:01:25,799 --> 00:01:29,159
Speaker 2: That's all right. She does look young, doesn't she?

24
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:29,480
Speaker 3: Oh?

25
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:31,239
Speaker 6: Yes, yes she does.

26
00:01:31,519 --> 00:01:33,400
Speaker 2: How old you guess?

27
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:33,719
Speaker 3: Oh?

28
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 6: Sixteen seventeen eighteen?

29
00:01:38,159 --> 00:01:43,879
Speaker 2: Top deceptive, deceptive She was eighteen the day we were married.

30
00:01:44,519 --> 00:01:47,519
Speaker 6: Oh are you are you? Newly weds?

31
00:01:47,680 --> 00:01:51,719
Speaker 2: Newly wedds? My dear missus Mallory, We're about to celebrate

32
00:01:51,760 --> 00:02:00,200
our forty fifth wedding anniversary.

33
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:07,719
Speaker 4: Our mystery drama Age Cannot Wither Her was written especially

34
00:02:07,719 --> 00:02:11,879
for the Mystery Theater by Sam Dan and stars Jennifer Harmon.

35
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:16,080
It is sponsored in part by Buick Motor Division and

36
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:21,039
Anheuser Busch Incorporated brewers of Budweiser. I'll be back shortly

37
00:02:21,479 --> 00:02:37,000
with Act one. There are those women who seem to

38
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:42,039
inspire hopeless passion in men. They are women whose love

39
00:02:42,159 --> 00:02:45,840
can never be won, and if captured.

40
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:47,639
Speaker 3: Can only be held for the moment.

41
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:52,159
Speaker 4: We tend to sympathize with the unfortunate men who are

42
00:02:52,199 --> 00:02:55,800
caught on their web, but the truth is it's the woman,

43
00:02:56,120 --> 00:03:00,680
as usual who pays the price in the end. Our

44
00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,639
story is set in the town of Raymont, named, of course,

45
00:03:03,719 --> 00:03:07,439
after the celebrated Lake Raymont, that vast, beautiful body of

46
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:12,000
water high in the Adirondack Mountains. A very determined looking

47
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,039
middle aged ladies walking with purposeful.

48
00:03:14,599 --> 00:03:16,400
Speaker 3: Stride down the main street.

49
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:20,080
Speaker 4: She has an expression on her face that bodes ill

50
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:26,639
for someone sheriff. Oh yeah, missus Mallory.

51
00:03:26,319 --> 00:03:27,840
Speaker 3: Oh yes, yeah, missus Mallory.

52
00:03:28,479 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 6: Roberta Mallory. It used to be the sheriff knew everybody

53
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:32,439
in town.

54
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:35,159
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, missus Mallory, I'm new here.

55
00:03:35,439 --> 00:03:38,159
Speaker 5: I spoke to my husband and the neighbors and they said,

56
00:03:38,439 --> 00:03:39,879
what are you getting involved for?

57
00:03:40,439 --> 00:03:41,039
Speaker 3: Involved in what?

58
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:44,240
Speaker 6: But I'm a citizen now it's my duty to.

59
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,199
Speaker 3: Uphold the law as the law of it.

60
00:03:46,319 --> 00:03:50,560
Speaker 6: Violate is murder a violation of the law, Sheriff.

61
00:03:50,759 --> 00:03:51,919
Speaker 3: You hear a reporter murder.

62
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,319
Speaker 5: These people, the Burnhams. They have the house next to

63
00:03:55,319 --> 00:03:59,199
ours on the lake. Now, he's in his sixties, maybe seventies.

64
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:02,560
She can't be more than twenty. Now what kind of

65
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:03,159
marriage is that?

66
00:04:03,719 --> 00:04:05,879
Speaker 3: Now, missus Maury, I must ask you.

67
00:04:06,039 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 5: Those things don't work, They can't work, and they can

68
00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:10,159
lead to murder.

69
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:11,960
Speaker 3: Will you have any facts for me?

70
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:14,199
Speaker 6: Well, it was just this morning.

71
00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:17,480
Speaker 5: We're sitting around the dark, my husband and me, and

72
00:04:17,519 --> 00:04:19,920
we share the stuff with the Burnhams. You see, well,

73
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,319
him and her, him in swimming trunks, and she and

74
00:04:23,399 --> 00:04:27,439
that Nikmia hers had come down to the water. We

75
00:04:27,680 --> 00:04:31,279
exchange polite hellos. We're not close, and they get into

76
00:04:31,319 --> 00:04:37,160
the sailboat. They got the sixteen footer and off they go. Yes, well,

77
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,360
three four hours later, the sailboat comes back.

78
00:04:41,639 --> 00:04:45,399
Speaker 6: He's all alone. She's not with him. So I say

79
00:04:45,399 --> 00:04:47,439
to him, where is missus burning?

80
00:04:48,279 --> 00:04:51,920
Speaker 5: And you know what he answers, Well, he gives me

81
00:04:51,959 --> 00:04:55,480
the funniest look and he says, if obviously she's not.

82
00:04:55,519 --> 00:04:57,639
Speaker 3: Here, or what happened to us?

83
00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,480
Speaker 6: I don't know what happened to us.

84
00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,879
Speaker 3: What did mister Burnham say it happened to her?

85
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:07,920
Speaker 5: He said absolutely nothing. Now here's my point. He can

86
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,680
keep his mouth shut when I asked him, but he's

87
00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:17,519
got to open it when you ask him.

88
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:20,879
Speaker 3: Mister Burnham, tell me what happened.

89
00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 2: To your wife?

90
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:25,600
Speaker 3: I don't know, sir, as I understand it to you

91
00:05:25,759 --> 00:05:28,800
went sailing this morning and you came back alone. Yes,

92
00:05:30,079 --> 00:05:33,480
where's your wife, Sheriff, I've already told you.

93
00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 2: I don't know.

94
00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:36,759
Speaker 3: Did she leave the boat?

95
00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:41,519
Speaker 2: Obviously she wasn't there when I returned to the dock.

96
00:05:43,079 --> 00:05:48,279
Speaker 3: Mister Burnham, are you feeling all right? I suppose it

97
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:52,000
was carelessness on my part. She had a very strong

98
00:05:52,439 --> 00:05:55,360
breeze on the lake, and I was she let go

99
00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:59,240
the boom in order to attack, and it swung free. Well,

100
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:01,600
you know how swimt it travels during them a new

101
00:06:01,680 --> 00:06:06,160
red just caught me across the head muster passed out

102
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:07,480
for how long?

103
00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:13,160
Speaker 2: I don't know. When I came to she was gone when.

104
00:06:12,959 --> 00:06:18,879
Speaker 3: This accident with the boom occurred. Where was the boat Well,

105
00:06:18,920 --> 00:06:24,879
we were quite some most several miles from shore. Is

106
00:06:24,920 --> 00:06:26,000
your wife a good swimmer?

107
00:06:26,759 --> 00:06:27,000
Speaker 2: Well?

108
00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:30,680
Speaker 3: No, then if she did fall overboard she drowned?

109
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 2: No? No, because well she couldn't.

110
00:06:34,959 --> 00:06:35,959
Speaker 3: Well, how can you say.

111
00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:39,040
Speaker 2: That because nothing can happen to her?

112
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:44,040
Speaker 3: Of mister Burnham, you better explain what that means.

113
00:06:45,959 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 2: I can't explain it. I can only tell you that

114
00:06:49,120 --> 00:06:52,639
nothing can never happen to her. Mister Burnham.

115
00:06:53,759 --> 00:06:57,120
Speaker 3: I'm afraid you don't understand the seriousness of your situation.

116
00:06:56,879 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 2: Or I understand. I understand that a marriage, my marriage

117
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:04,360
of forty five years, is.

118
00:07:04,319 --> 00:07:06,439
Speaker 3: Over when a man and a wife go sailing and

119
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:09,959
a man returns al What did you say about being

120
00:07:09,959 --> 00:07:11,319
married for forty five years?

121
00:07:11,879 --> 00:07:12,199
Speaker 2: Today?

122
00:07:12,279 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 3: It was our forty fifth anniversary, mister Burnham. Your wife

123
00:07:17,199 --> 00:07:20,160
has been described as a woman of about twenty.

124
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 2: I know, I know she hasn't changed one bit and

125
00:07:23,319 --> 00:07:27,399
almost do you realize it's almost half a century, Sheriff.

126
00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:31,720
This has been a It's been a devastating day for me.

127
00:07:31,759 --> 00:07:34,560
I'm I'm required to rest in the afternoon.

128
00:07:34,879 --> 00:07:37,439
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, I I gotta get these answers.

129
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:42,439
Speaker 2: What happened to your wife? Well, as I say, she

130
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:46,879
had decided to leave me, and of course she was right.

131
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:51,480
I was making it difficult for her. Well, and I

132
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,240
was knocked unconscious. She may have thought this would be

133
00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:57,800
the best time to go. So she's sailed the boat

134
00:07:57,800 --> 00:08:00,079
to shore. Her got out and she said me, you

135
00:08:00,199 --> 00:08:05,680
drift again? And where would she go away? Lose yourself

136
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:07,079
once again in the world.

137
00:08:07,639 --> 00:08:11,959
Speaker 3: Wearing nothing but a bikini, carrying nothing. Oh, I'm sure

138
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:16,399
she had access to whatever she needed. I see you

139
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:17,759
got a picture of your wife.

140
00:08:18,439 --> 00:08:21,439
Speaker 2: Well, we have only one picture in the house. It

141
00:08:21,600 --> 00:08:24,920
was taking the day we were engaged. Here, this one

142
00:08:24,959 --> 00:08:27,439
over here, I'm the cabinet.

143
00:08:27,959 --> 00:08:32,840
Speaker 3: But that cat be the way she looks now, Yes, yes, exactly.

144
00:08:33,159 --> 00:08:37,120
Oh no, she's forty five years older. You would think so,

145
00:08:37,759 --> 00:08:41,440
but that's not true. When that was taken, I was

146
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:46,639
twenty five and she was nineteen. Today I'm seventy, but

147
00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:53,279
she's still nineteen. Sure, excuse me, I'm very very tired.

148
00:08:53,639 --> 00:08:57,919
Uh yeah, yeah, why don't you just lie down.

149
00:08:57,799 --> 00:09:00,799
Speaker 2: For a few minutes. May I thank you so much?

150
00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:11,399
Speaker 3: That's her, Missus Mallory. Please look at this carefully. This

151
00:09:11,519 --> 00:09:13,759
is a picture of a nineteen year old girl.

152
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:15,200
Speaker 6: That's right, that's all she was.

153
00:09:15,519 --> 00:09:19,519
Speaker 3: And this is her, Missus Mallory. This picture is forty

154
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:20,960
five years old.

155
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,960
Speaker 6: Oh no, no, why the dress she's wearing, the head.

156
00:09:24,919 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 3: Well, those stars have come back. And that's not her boyfriend,

157
00:09:28,399 --> 00:09:29,320
it's her husband.

158
00:09:29,759 --> 00:09:31,200
Speaker 6: But she's a young girl.

159
00:09:31,399 --> 00:09:34,480
Speaker 3: Examine this photo very careful. It couldn't be somebody who

160
00:09:34,519 --> 00:09:36,559
resembles her. Let's say her daughter.

161
00:09:36,919 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 6: I'm a student of people.

162
00:09:38,759 --> 00:09:42,080
Speaker 5: Missus Burnham had this slight squint and a left eye

163
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:45,120
you see, and a little more right side of her chin,

164
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,960
and a kind of curved little scar just above her

165
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:53,000
left eyebrow. This is missus Burnham and I saw her

166
00:09:53,120 --> 00:09:55,759
just this morning. She can't be close on seventy.

167
00:09:56,679 --> 00:09:58,279
Speaker 6: Why that would make her older than me?

168
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:07,759
Speaker 3: Oh I feel mister Burnham.

169
00:10:07,919 --> 00:10:11,799
Speaker 2: Why have I been arrested? Why am I in the hospital.

170
00:10:12,039 --> 00:10:14,600
Why are psychiatrists having a field day with me?

171
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:18,720
Speaker 3: Well, it's a part of a mental examination. In other words,

172
00:10:19,320 --> 00:10:23,279
the consensus is that I'm crazy. Oh, let's say that

173
00:10:23,360 --> 00:10:27,399
your behavior after you realize your wife was gone has

174
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:30,440
not been normal. To believe me, Sheriff, when I tell

175
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:34,120
you that my wife is alive and well, I'd like

176
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,440
to believe you, But first you've got to explain certain

177
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:42,039
things you said. You told me she couldn't swim, yet

178
00:10:42,039 --> 00:10:45,000
if she fell overboard, she couldn't drown.

179
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:48,639
Speaker 2: That's right, because nothing can ever happen to her.

180
00:10:49,279 --> 00:10:51,159
Speaker 3: That's what you have to clear up.

181
00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,559
Speaker 2: I can't. You won't believe me.

182
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,679
Speaker 3: Why won't I.

183
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:59,440
Speaker 2: Well, if I tell the true story, they'll put me

184
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:02,120
in an them for the rest of my life. Well,

185
00:11:02,399 --> 00:11:05,279
and if you should believe me, they'll put you there too.

186
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:09,080
Speaker 3: Believe me, mister Burnham, you've got nothing to lose.

187
00:11:10,320 --> 00:11:15,360
Speaker 2: Well, my wife was nineteen the day I met her

188
00:11:15,399 --> 00:11:20,200
forty five years ago. She's been nineteen ever since, and

189
00:11:20,279 --> 00:11:22,919
she'll be nineteen till the world comes to an end.

190
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:29,080
That's impossible, let's see. That's the point. Now, you say,

191
00:11:29,240 --> 00:11:31,679
tell me the story. I know, sooner start When you

192
00:11:31,759 --> 00:11:36,519
say impossible, I'm sorry, I'm sorry. How did you meet

193
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:40,240
your wife? I met her in a bank forty five

194
00:11:40,320 --> 00:11:44,879
years ago, at a bank in Philadelphia. I'd go in

195
00:11:44,919 --> 00:11:48,759
there every Friday afternoon to cash my paycheck, and I

196
00:11:48,879 --> 00:11:54,799
noticed this very pretty girl's probably there for the same reason. Well,

197
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:59,320
I fell in love with her, but I didn't know

198
00:11:59,320 --> 00:12:01,600
how to go about meeting her. I was I was

199
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:06,559
very shy. Well on this particular afternoon, the bank was crowded,

200
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:10,960
but I saw her standing in line. I was wondering,

201
00:12:11,679 --> 00:12:16,320
hoping how I could meet her, when suddenly everybody put

202
00:12:16,399 --> 00:12:19,600
up balls.

203
00:12:21,720 --> 00:12:22,080
Speaker 7: Friday.

204
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 6: What's that, phol though operator, this is the Merchants Bank

205
00:12:26,039 --> 00:12:31,360
on chestn O. There's a hold up in progress? Are

206
00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:37,879
six men all wearing masks? What's up?

207
00:12:44,600 --> 00:12:47,200
Speaker 2: I'm not sure that anyone in the bank was fully

208
00:12:47,240 --> 00:12:50,480
aware of what was happening. At the sound of the shooting,

209
00:12:50,919 --> 00:12:55,159
everybody threw himself to the floor, jumped behind desks, but

210
00:12:55,279 --> 00:12:59,159
I couldn't take my eyes off her in the confusion.

211
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:04,519
After the bandits ran out, she just very calmly walked

212
00:13:04,519 --> 00:13:07,840
through the door. I ran after her.

213
00:13:08,919 --> 00:13:11,440
Speaker 3: Listen, listen, I have to talk to you.

214
00:13:11,919 --> 00:13:12,440
Speaker 6: Who are you?

215
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,879
Speaker 3: I think what you just did was what was It

216
00:13:15,919 --> 00:13:17,399
was absolutely terrific.

217
00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:18,639
Speaker 6: Would you excuse me?

218
00:13:19,080 --> 00:13:22,080
Speaker 2: Look, this isn't a pickup or anything. My name is

219
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:26,120
John Burnham, I'm a chemical engineer. What can be more

220
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:27,080
respectable than that.

221
00:13:27,399 --> 00:13:29,440
Speaker 6: I'm sorry, and I'm not interested.

222
00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:31,600
Speaker 2: I looked at that ring finger on your left hand,

223
00:13:31,639 --> 00:13:34,559
and I see you're not married or even engaged. Now,

224
00:13:34,799 --> 00:13:36,960
if you're going with somebody, or if you're in love

225
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:38,960
with somebody, okay, okay, I'll take a walk.

226
00:13:39,039 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 6: That's exactly the way it is. I'm very much in

227
00:13:42,039 --> 00:13:42,600
love with you.

228
00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:45,919
Speaker 3: No, it can't be true. It can't be because the

229
00:13:46,039 --> 00:13:49,639
very second I saw you, I knew, I just knew

230
00:13:49,639 --> 00:13:50,240
that you and.

231
00:13:50,159 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 6: I were shut up. No, no, forgive me, forgive you what.

232
00:13:57,840 --> 00:14:00,960
I'm in love with you be in love with me.

233
00:14:01,840 --> 00:14:04,759
No one must ever be in love with me. Please

234
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:09,080
go before it's too late, before I fall in love

235
00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:09,440
with you.

236
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:13,600
Speaker 2: Oh, you can't help it. You're minding your own business

237
00:14:13,639 --> 00:14:16,720
and suddenly, just like that, it happens.

238
00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 6: Yes, I know, I know.

239
00:14:19,320 --> 00:14:21,720
Speaker 2: I saw you pick up that phone, and when they

240
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:24,679
started shooting at it was well, it was a miracle,

241
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:27,919
a miracle. All those bullets could have missed you see

242
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:29,759
some of them even rip through your dress? Looks either

243
00:14:29,919 --> 00:14:30,679
your dress is torn.

244
00:14:30,879 --> 00:14:34,559
Speaker 6: John Berman, Please turn around and walk away as quickly

245
00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,799
as you can. No, No, you say you love me,

246
00:14:38,600 --> 00:14:41,080
but I tell you one day you'll hate me.

247
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:43,120
Speaker 2: How could I ever hate you?

248
00:14:43,639 --> 00:14:45,120
Speaker 6: They all hate me in the end?

249
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:50,639
Speaker 2: Oh what do you mean? How many were there?

250
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:51,279
Speaker 6: John?

251
00:14:51,559 --> 00:14:52,159
Speaker 2: I don't care.

252
00:14:53,519 --> 00:14:57,120
Speaker 6: I shouldn't even be talking to you. But I'm a woman,

253
00:14:57,240 --> 00:15:00,919
and like all women, I need love. And it's been

254
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:04,399
so long, Oh how long it's been.

255
00:15:04,799 --> 00:15:05,480
Speaker 2: I love you.

256
00:15:05,919 --> 00:15:10,039
Speaker 6: I know that I should send you away, but I

257
00:15:10,159 --> 00:15:13,720
want to be loved again. It's wrong, but I I

258
00:15:13,759 --> 00:15:14,919
can't help myself.

259
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:17,879
Speaker 2: What are you saying? Why is it wrong?

260
00:15:18,399 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 6: Maybe this time, maybe this time it'll be different. Maybe

261
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:28,519
you'll be different, of course I will. Yes, Maybe you

262
00:15:28,639 --> 00:15:31,960
can be different. Maybe you can do something that none

263
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:37,360
of the others could. Maybe you can find a way

264
00:15:37,399 --> 00:15:40,360
for me to die.

265
00:15:48,039 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 3: All right, that's a request you don't hear every day.

266
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:56,279
Speaker 4: Why should she want to die? She's young, she's beautiful,

267
00:15:56,919 --> 00:15:59,559
she should have a whole, glorious life in front of her.

268
00:16:00,159 --> 00:16:02,960
And yet didn't she try to die back there in

269
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,519
the banks? Didn't she force the bandits to fire at her?

270
00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:11,000
Could every bullet have missed her? Or try to answer

271
00:16:11,039 --> 00:16:13,440
all these questions for you when I return in just

272
00:16:13,519 --> 00:16:14,440
a few moments.

273
00:16:14,600 --> 00:16:32,039
Speaker 3: With that too.

274
00:16:27,919 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 2: Well.

275
00:16:28,279 --> 00:16:32,200
Speaker 4: Now, in the ordinary way, dying is hardly ever a problem.

276
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 3: It's living that presents us with all sorts of difficulties.

277
00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:37,600
Here we have a.

278
00:16:37,559 --> 00:16:40,879
Speaker 4: Young lady who is about to become missus Elinor Burnham.

279
00:16:41,639 --> 00:16:43,879
And what does she want her husband to give her

280
00:16:43,960 --> 00:16:46,759
for a wedding gift? She would like for him to

281
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:50,759
find a way for her to die. All this is

282
00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:53,679
part of some explaining that John Burnham has to do

283
00:16:53,759 --> 00:16:56,480
to the sheriff, and he's describing how things were the

284
00:16:56,559 --> 00:16:57,279
day he met.

285
00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 3: His bride to be some forty five years ago.

286
00:17:00,159 --> 00:17:02,679
Speaker 2: What do you mean, find a way for you to die?

287
00:17:02,919 --> 00:17:06,720
Speaker 6: You should know something about me, like why my age?

288
00:17:06,759 --> 00:17:11,359
For instance, nineteen or twenty. Let's walk inside that restaurant.

289
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:12,759
Speaker 2: Oh sure, how about lunch.

290
00:17:13,279 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 6: You'd better be sitting down when I tell you how

291
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:22,279
old I am. It would be wrong for me to

292
00:17:22,359 --> 00:17:24,960
let you go one step further without telling you the

293
00:17:25,039 --> 00:17:25,799
truth about me.

294
00:17:26,039 --> 00:17:30,079
Speaker 3: Okay, let's have the truth. Not that it matters my age.

295
00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 6: You said, I look nineteen or twenty, I'm only eighteen.

296
00:17:35,759 --> 00:17:38,920
Speaker 3: Well that's great, I'm twenty five.

297
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:42,000
Speaker 6: I was born in the year fifteen fifty four.

298
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:44,039
Speaker 3: Well, every girl should marry a more mature man.

299
00:17:44,559 --> 00:17:47,319
Speaker 6: Did you hear what I said? I was born in

300
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:48,519
fifteen fifty four.

301
00:17:48,640 --> 00:17:50,279
Speaker 2: Sure that means you have to be more than four

302
00:17:50,319 --> 00:17:52,559
hundred years old. See, it's the same thing for men.

303
00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:54,279
They should also marry mature women.

304
00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:58,039
Speaker 6: John, I was eighteen years old in the year fifteen

305
00:17:58,119 --> 00:18:03,079
seventy two. I'm eighteen years old ever since. I simply

306
00:18:03,079 --> 00:18:06,039
don't grow older. I can't grow older.

307
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:07,200
Speaker 2: That's fantastic.

308
00:18:07,880 --> 00:18:11,400
Speaker 6: Do you realize how long I've lived, how many lives

309
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:11,920
I've lived?

310
00:18:12,599 --> 00:18:14,920
Speaker 3: What an absolutely tremendous imagination.

311
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:18,400
Speaker 6: I'm telling you the truth. I can't grow older. I

312
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:20,759
can't be killed. I can't die.

313
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:22,400
Speaker 2: How what's wrong with that?

314
00:18:22,839 --> 00:18:28,160
Speaker 6: You don't understand You'll be thirty fifty sixty five and

315
00:18:28,279 --> 00:18:29,640
I'll still be eighteen.

316
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:30,839
Speaker 2: Has that bad?

317
00:18:31,559 --> 00:18:33,839
Speaker 6: You'll die and I'll still be eighteen?

318
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:35,720
Speaker 2: Come on, I want to tell us talk about dying.

319
00:18:35,799 --> 00:18:37,720
Everybody dies when his time comes.

320
00:18:37,480 --> 00:18:41,440
Speaker 6: Not me. My time never comes. I can't die.

321
00:18:41,519 --> 00:18:43,319
Speaker 2: Now, How do we ever get on this subject?

322
00:18:43,319 --> 00:18:43,880
Speaker 3: Anyhow?

323
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:48,039
Speaker 6: You saw in the bank they all fired their guns

324
00:18:48,039 --> 00:18:49,039
and me nothing happened.

325
00:18:49,079 --> 00:18:50,440
Speaker 2: Well, that's because they all missed.

326
00:18:50,839 --> 00:18:52,680
Speaker 6: Let me tell you why I can't die.

327
00:18:52,839 --> 00:18:53,960
Speaker 2: Okay, okay.

328
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,880
Speaker 3: If it'll make you feel better, I must tell you.

329
00:18:56,960 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 6: Please listen, and then afterward, if you still want to.

330
00:19:00,680 --> 00:19:03,160
Speaker 3: Marry, I am going to marry you no matter what.

331
00:19:04,279 --> 00:19:06,000
Speaker 6: I was born in Paris.

332
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,920
Speaker 3: Paris, Darlene, where's your French accent?

333
00:19:09,519 --> 00:19:12,279
Speaker 6: I've had enough time to lose it. I was born

334
00:19:12,279 --> 00:19:15,960
in the year fifteen fifty four. My father was a chemist.

335
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:19,359
Speaker 3: I was amasy. You see we have something in common.

336
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:21,880
Speaker 6: Today you would have called him an alchemist. He was

337
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:26,519
always experimenting, trying to find what he called the elixir of.

338
00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:28,640
Speaker 3: Life, the elixir of life.

339
00:19:28,839 --> 00:19:34,599
Speaker 6: The elixir of life everlasting. I was eighteen. I remember

340
00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:38,839
it was August twenty third, the eve of Saint Bartholomew's day.

341
00:19:39,519 --> 00:19:43,400
I was to marry a young lieutenant and King Charles Regiment.

342
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:44,960
Speaker 2: No, come, no, no.

343
00:19:45,720 --> 00:19:48,960
Speaker 6: You must let me tell this. It was late at

344
00:19:49,039 --> 00:19:52,240
night and I heard a knock on the door, and

345
00:19:52,319 --> 00:19:56,240
when I opened it, sil let me in quickly. I

346
00:19:56,319 --> 00:19:58,279
must not be seen here. But it's bad luck to

347
00:19:58,279 --> 00:20:00,559
see your bride the night before the wedding. Come with

348
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:02,240
me at once. What do you say.

349
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 3: There is no time to lose I can hide you

350
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:05,839
in my uncle's house. We can trust him.

351
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:06,880
Speaker 6: Philip, what are you?

352
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:08,640
Speaker 3: The king has planned.

353
00:20:08,319 --> 00:20:11,240
Speaker 7: A massacre, all the partisans of Prince Area and Navah,

354
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:12,759
and all the Huguenots.

355
00:20:12,839 --> 00:20:13,920
Speaker 6: You can't be serious.

356
00:20:14,039 --> 00:20:16,440
Speaker 3: My own regiment is entrusted to carry it out.

357
00:20:16,599 --> 00:20:17,599
Speaker 6: It is impossibly.

358
00:20:18,519 --> 00:20:21,200
Speaker 3: Please, there is no time to talk to argue. It

359
00:20:21,240 --> 00:20:24,240
has already begun. Oh, my father, you and your father,

360
00:20:24,319 --> 00:20:26,880
both of you are marked for death. I'll come quickly.

361
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:28,400
Speaker 6: I won't leave without my father.

362
00:20:28,519 --> 00:20:28,920
Speaker 2: Get him.

363
00:20:29,039 --> 00:20:31,519
Speaker 6: We have no time. He's downstairs in the cellar.

364
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:40,119
Speaker 7: Hurry, father, child, interrupt Father, this is almost complete.

365
00:20:40,240 --> 00:20:42,079
Speaker 6: Father, listened that glass.

366
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,079
Speaker 3: Bottle from which the vapor is see me handed to me.

367
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:46,119
Speaker 6: Father. We must leave here at once.

368
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:47,160
Speaker 3: And me a bottle.

369
00:20:47,400 --> 00:20:52,720

00:20:55,200 --> 00:21:00,000
fortunate for breaking glass, mister eye instructed just above the bra.

372
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:04,279
Speaker 6: Father, there's going to be a massacre. Philip has come

373
00:21:04,319 --> 00:21:04,799
to help us.

374
00:21:04,839 --> 00:21:07,400
Speaker 3: A scale, a press, a clean cloth to the wound.

375
00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:08,240
Speaker 2: It is not deep.

376
00:21:08,559 --> 00:21:11,519
Speaker 6: We cannot stay here. A moment longer, must.

377
00:21:11,279 --> 00:21:12,359
Speaker 3: Wait, A moment longer.

378
00:21:12,400 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 7: A moment is all I need to mix the potion.

379
00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:21,119
You ancient gods, in all your might lead my way.

380
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:23,079
Speaker 3: Grant me light.

381
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:23,759
Speaker 6: Father.

382
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:25,240
Speaker 3: I know, I know.

383
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,920
Speaker 7: Philip has come to rescue us, but there is no rescue.

384
00:21:29,319 --> 00:21:31,720
Philip will never get us through the streets alive.

385
00:21:31,960 --> 00:21:33,799
Speaker 6: We cannot stay here and be murdered.

386
00:21:33,839 --> 00:21:38,559
Speaker 3: No, you will not be murdered here. This is now ready.

387
00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:39,799
Drink it.

388
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:41,400
Speaker 6: What is it?

389
00:21:41,599 --> 00:21:44,920
Speaker 7: I think I have found it.

390
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 3: It's the elixir, Father.

391
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:49,039
Speaker 6: Such a change thing is impossible.

392
00:21:49,079 --> 00:21:52,319
Speaker 3: You say, drink it and you will never die.

393
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:57,119
Speaker 6: Please massacres for gods quickly.

394
00:21:57,640 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 2: Nothing worth to be able to father with is nope

395
00:22:01,279 --> 00:22:01,920
of escape.

396
00:22:02,079 --> 00:22:05,599
Speaker 3: I might have found the potion. I have said a prayer.

397
00:22:06,519 --> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 2: Drink it quickly.

398
00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:11,160
Speaker 3: Save yourself. You drink there.

399
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:12,759
Speaker 2: Is poorly enough for one.

400
00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:14,799
Speaker 6: I don't want to live if everyone else is.

401
00:22:15,039 --> 00:22:19,200
Speaker 2: I am your father. I command you to drink. Drink

402
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:22,039
that would follow it.

403
00:22:22,799 --> 00:22:27,359
Speaker 3: Follow it myself now, my child.

404
00:22:27,279 --> 00:22:28,519
Speaker 2: Nothing can hurt you.

405
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:40,920
Speaker 6: I fainted from fright from shock. When I recovered later,

406
00:22:41,079 --> 00:22:45,759
my father was dead beside me, The servants were dead.

407
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:50,519
The house was in ruins, but by that time the

408
00:22:50,599 --> 00:22:53,960
madness had spent itself. It was safe to be on

409
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:57,279
the streets again. I made my way to Philip's house

410
00:22:57,359 --> 00:22:58,960
and he married me.

411
00:23:00,559 --> 00:23:03,200
Speaker 2: I guess that means that I'm not your first husband,

412
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:03,480
am I?

413
00:23:04,079 --> 00:23:09,400
Speaker 6: No? My second? No, my third. You see, my father,

414
00:23:09,559 --> 00:23:13,519
at the very last moment, had discovered his elixir of life.

415
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:17,799
And what it does is it prevents you from aging,

416
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:22,839
and aging is what causes death. Sure, and whenever a

417
00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:27,079
part of my body is injured, it heals immediately. So

418
00:23:27,160 --> 00:23:28,240
I can't be killed.

419
00:23:28,599 --> 00:23:31,559
Speaker 2: Now, Why would anyone want to kill you? You are

420
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:32,720
so adorable.

421
00:23:32,920 --> 00:23:36,440
Speaker 6: Don't do this to me. Don't make me fall in

422
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:36,920
love with you.

423
00:23:37,079 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 2: Oh, but I intend to do just that.

424
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,680
Speaker 6: It'll be so much harder for me to leave you

425
00:23:41,720 --> 00:23:42,759
when the time comes.

426
00:23:43,079 --> 00:23:45,920
Speaker 2: You know, you know you should be a writer. You

427
00:23:45,920 --> 00:23:49,319
should write horror stories and you know those science fiction things.

428
00:23:49,319 --> 00:23:50,480
Speaker 6: And I wouldn't know how to write.

429
00:23:50,599 --> 00:23:52,759
Speaker 2: Oh, you should know how to do everything. I mean,

430
00:23:52,799 --> 00:23:53,920
if what you're telling.

431
00:23:53,759 --> 00:23:55,480
Speaker 3: Me is true, you should be You should be the

432
00:23:55,519 --> 00:23:56,960
wisest person in the world. Why.

433
00:23:57,039 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 2: Why because you've lived for what four hundred years or

434
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,799
according to what you say, and you should have learned things,

435
00:24:02,839 --> 00:24:03,720
acquired wisdom.

436
00:24:03,839 --> 00:24:06,519
Speaker 6: Well that's not true. I was just an ordinary girl.

437
00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:11,599
I had no special talent or ability. And over the years,

438
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:15,599
over and over again, I kept leading the same kind

439
00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:16,000
of life.

440
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:18,079
Speaker 3: No, why do you have the need to claim that

441
00:24:18,079 --> 00:24:18,839
you've been You.

442
00:24:18,839 --> 00:24:23,279
Speaker 6: Notice my left eye, the scar just above the eyebrows.

443
00:24:24,519 --> 00:24:28,119
That glass bottle exploded just before I drank the elixir.

444
00:24:29,119 --> 00:24:31,960
And that's the last time I have ever been injured,

445
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:33,960
the very last time.

446
00:24:34,039 --> 00:24:36,759
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, I believe you.

447
00:24:36,759 --> 00:24:38,400
Speaker 6: You don't really believe.

448
00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:40,200
Speaker 2: Oh what does it matter? I love you.

449
00:24:40,279 --> 00:24:40,559
Speaker 4: Love.

450
00:24:41,680 --> 00:24:44,160
Speaker 6: When you're young, you think love is all there is,

451
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:46,319
and then it lasts forever.

452
00:24:46,279 --> 00:24:46,759
Speaker 2: It does.

453
00:24:47,759 --> 00:24:51,920
Speaker 6: I know what love is, and I know what forever is.

454
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:02,839
Speaker 3: The nurse story strike you is kind of peculiar, well, Sheriff,

455
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:09,759
I didn't care, mister Burnham. I'm trying to help. All

456
00:25:09,799 --> 00:25:14,160
I know is an elderly gentleman and his very young wife.

457
00:25:14,200 --> 00:25:17,839
Speaker 2: You know, she's older than I am, than anyone alive today.

458
00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:21,680
Speaker 3: Could I just tell you what we're faced with now?

459
00:25:21,759 --> 00:25:24,920
The two of them go off sailing, he comes back,

460
00:25:25,480 --> 00:25:29,640
she doesn't am I correct? So far, Yes, something happened

461
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:33,680
to the wife. The husband doesn't seem to be alarmed.

462
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:36,000
He doesn't notify anybody.

463
00:25:36,119 --> 00:25:40,359
Speaker 2: I told you, why, why nothing could ever possibly happen

464
00:25:40,440 --> 00:25:40,720
to her?

465
00:25:40,839 --> 00:25:44,079
Speaker 3: Meanwhile, the woman is missing, and you come up with

466
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:45,480
this fantastic yarn.

467
00:25:45,759 --> 00:25:49,920
Speaker 2: I admit it sounds fantastic, and you just swallowed it. No,

468
00:25:50,119 --> 00:25:53,799
I didn't just swallow it. I went to see a doctor.

469
00:25:54,599 --> 00:25:57,119
Speaker 3: You went, she's the one who needed it, But she

470
00:25:57,119 --> 00:25:57,680
wouldn't go.

471
00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:03,240
Speaker 2: Why does she lie to me doctor?

472
00:26:03,519 --> 00:26:07,440
Speaker 6: Well, a woman may lie because she's unsure of her

473
00:26:07,519 --> 00:26:08,079
husband's love.

474
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:10,359
Speaker 3: Oh that isn't so. Now she knows I love her.

475
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:15,799
I couldn't possibly be more attentive, more affectionate. There's Oh,

476
00:26:15,839 --> 00:26:19,519
it's just something strange. Why does she insist on having

477
00:26:19,559 --> 00:26:21,039
such a past.

478
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:24,359
Speaker 6: But you'd have to tell me something about her background?

479
00:26:24,599 --> 00:26:25,279
Speaker 2: Her background?

480
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:27,240
Speaker 6: Are her parents living well?

481
00:26:27,319 --> 00:26:30,759
Speaker 2: She claims that her father was killed in the massacre

482
00:26:30,839 --> 00:26:32,559
of fifteen seventy two.

483
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:37,839
Speaker 6: Well, she must have friends. She did go to school somewhere,

484
00:26:38,279 --> 00:26:40,279
she was raised someplace.

485
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:42,519
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, out west good where I don't know. She

486
00:26:42,559 --> 00:26:43,480
never talks about that.

487
00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:48,240
Speaker 5: Oh well, then, mister Burnham, getting down to it, you

488
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:51,160
know absolutely nothing about your wife.

489
00:26:51,519 --> 00:26:54,400
Speaker 2: Well, none of that seemed important when I fell in love.

490
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:57,640
Speaker 5: I see, when you fell in love, you felt that

491
00:26:58,119 --> 00:26:59,079
love was enough?

492
00:26:59,400 --> 00:26:59,880
Speaker 2: Still is?

493
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:04,119
Speaker 6: Then why have you come to see me? What?

494
00:27:06,279 --> 00:27:07,880
Speaker 2: Okay? Okay?

495
00:27:07,920 --> 00:27:09,559
Speaker 3: I see now that I'll just have to put up

496
00:27:09,559 --> 00:27:10,559
with those little fables.

497
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:13,799
Speaker 2: It's the only fault she has. Oh, and I think,

498
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:21,079
what's wrong with the wives of other men? I know, well,

499
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:25,119
a few years went by, we were happy, I started

500
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:28,880
doing well financially. It seemed to me that there is

501
00:27:28,920 --> 00:27:35,400
no reason. Well, see, I'm old fashioned, and I think

502
00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:38,079
one of the basic reasons for marriage is a family. No,

503
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:40,480
but you like kids. I've seen you around children.

504
00:27:40,559 --> 00:27:42,359
Speaker 6: I don't even want to talk about having children.

505
00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 2: We've been married ten years.

506
00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:46,279
Speaker 6: You're twenty eight, I'm eighteen.

507
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:47,759
Speaker 2: You should have.

508
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:51,400
Speaker 3: Kids before, well, your first one before thirty.

509
00:27:51,559 --> 00:27:54,039
Speaker 6: Look at me? Do I look a day older?

510
00:27:54,599 --> 00:27:54,920
Speaker 2: Well?

511
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:58,240
Speaker 6: Now do you look ten years older? You're still young,

512
00:27:58,319 --> 00:28:00,920
but you're over thirty, and you look All.

513
00:28:00,759 --> 00:28:03,680
Speaker 2: I want is for us to have children.

514
00:28:03,720 --> 00:28:06,039
Speaker 3: But if you have a good reason the answer is no,

515
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:06,880
Well let it be no.

516
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:07,759
Speaker 2: But tell me why.

517
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:10,799
Speaker 6: I don't want to bury any more of my children.

518
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:15,480
I can't go through all that again, John, There are

519
00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:18,079
certain things you must never ask me.

520
00:28:18,519 --> 00:28:19,519
Speaker 2: Have you had children?

521
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:22,319
Speaker 6: Yes, I've had children, Well.

522
00:28:22,240 --> 00:28:23,680
Speaker 2: What happened to them? Where are they?

523
00:28:23,839 --> 00:28:24,400
Speaker 6: They're dead?

524
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:25,799
Speaker 2: Dead?

525
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:33,079
Speaker 6: How how four hundred, three hundred, two hundred years ago?

526
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:37,240
Children died like flies. The ones who weren't killed by

527
00:28:37,319 --> 00:28:42,000
fever died of old age. I refuse to outlive another child.

528
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:44,079
Speaker 2: All right, Eleanor, and no, look, I think it is

529
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:47,079
time for this nonsense to end. You've got to rid

530
00:28:47,119 --> 00:28:48,759
yourself of this terrible delusion.

531
00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:52,759
Speaker 6: No, keep away from me, don't touch me, Let me

532
00:28:52,799 --> 00:28:55,880
out of here. Oh you look like a soldier stabbed

533
00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:59,519
my father, like the Indian who scaled my daughter, Eleanor

534
00:29:00,079 --> 00:29:00,839
out of the owner.

535
00:29:04,440 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 3: She ran out of the house. Her car was part

536
00:29:07,799 --> 00:29:08,599
of the curb.

537
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:13,599
Speaker 2: And she got inside and drove off wildly, madly. My

538
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:16,079
car was in the driveway, and I started after her.

539
00:29:17,039 --> 00:29:19,160
We lived in the hills, we always loved the country,

540
00:29:19,839 --> 00:29:22,960
and I was barely able to keep her in view.

541
00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:26,880
We were climbing and higher along a narrow, twisting road

542
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:29,880
along the side of the mountain, when suddenly she took

543
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:33,359
a turn too quickly. The car swerved out of control,

544
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:38,200
right through the WireGuard rail and down down down the

545
00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:42,599
side of the hill, turning over completely and landing on

546
00:29:42,759 --> 00:29:47,240
the rocks hundreds of feet below. There was an explosion.

547
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:51,240
The wreckage was a mass of bright flames of fiercely

548
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:54,640
burning funeral fire. And I climbed down the hill as

549
00:29:54,720 --> 00:29:58,279
quickly as I could. I stood helplessly by the car.

550
00:29:59,079 --> 00:30:04,880
And then then she just walked out of the wreckage.

551
00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:08,119
Every stitch of her clothing had been burned away. The

552
00:30:08,279 --> 00:30:12,079
gold ring must have melted off her finger, but not

553
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:16,480
a hair was singed. There wasn't a mark on her body.

554
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:18,960
She looked at me.

555
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:25,440
Speaker 6: And smiled, darling, you'd better lend me your coat.

556
00:30:32,079 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 3: Well, what does it take to make a believer?

557
00:30:36,039 --> 00:30:37,000
Speaker 6: She was in the car.

558
00:30:37,519 --> 00:30:38,440
Speaker 3: It did crash.

559
00:30:39,160 --> 00:30:41,720
Speaker 2: The impact the flames would.

560
00:30:41,559 --> 00:30:45,440
Speaker 4: Have been enough to kill anyone, or perhaps anyone not

561
00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:49,279
fortified by the elixir of life. It's quite a drink,

562
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:53,200
but it needs a chaser, as we should discover when

563
00:30:53,240 --> 00:31:10,279
I returned shortly with Act three. Age cannot wither, nor

564
00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:15,920
custom stale her infinite variety, said the poet. Well, our

565
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:20,799
friend William Shakespeare was talking figuratively for someone whom age

566
00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:26,319
really cannot wither. We present Eleanor Burnham, or missus John Burnham.

567
00:31:26,359 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 2: I prefer.

568
00:31:27,559 --> 00:31:32,160
Speaker 4: Eleanor claims she was born in fifteen fifty four, that

569
00:31:32,240 --> 00:31:35,839
she drank a mysterious elixir of life when she was eighteen,

570
00:31:36,799 --> 00:31:40,160
and she's been eighteen ever since, or at least that's

571
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:43,039
the story of her husband. John is telling the sheriff

572
00:31:43,319 --> 00:31:47,400
elder Eldor it's it's a miracle.

573
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 6: No, it's not a miracle. It's the alexa to live

574
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:52,000
through that curst.

575
00:31:52,200 --> 00:31:52,440
Speaker 3: John.

576
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:55,720
Speaker 6: Do you believe me now? Do you believe me?

577
00:31:55,799 --> 00:31:58,759
Speaker 2: Yes, honor, Yes, I have to believe you.

578
00:32:04,200 --> 00:32:06,839
Speaker 3: Are you telling me that she lived through a car

579
00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:08,079
crash like that one?

580
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:09,079
Speaker 2: Yes, Sheriff.

581
00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:16,119
Speaker 3: Yes, mister Barnum, you're an intelligent man, but you evidently

582
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:22,039
found yourself in well an intolerable situation. You were jealous

583
00:32:22,079 --> 00:32:27,079
of your wife's youth, beauty, you could no longer keep

584
00:32:27,119 --> 00:32:28,240
pace with him, Sheriff.

585
00:32:28,960 --> 00:32:30,000
Speaker 2: I didn't kill her.

586
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:36,640
Speaker 3: I love her. So you manufacture this? Uh, well, it's

587
00:32:36,720 --> 00:32:41,680
up to you. We'll drag the lake, we'll find her body. No, No,

588
00:32:41,880 --> 00:32:46,880
she went away to begin another lifetime. No, sir, she

589
00:32:47,039 --> 00:32:50,279
might have gone away if you hadn't drowned her. And

590
00:32:50,359 --> 00:32:51,640
we know with whom.

591
00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:53,200
Speaker 2: What are you talking about?

592
00:32:54,400 --> 00:32:56,480
Speaker 3: Would the man's name be Peter Collins?

593
00:32:56,559 --> 00:33:00,119
Speaker 2: What do you know about Peter Collins?

594
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:03,839
Speaker 3: And some investigating Your wife has been having an affair. No,

595
00:33:04,279 --> 00:33:08,079
it wasn't an affair. We talked about it Helen and

596
00:33:08,160 --> 00:33:13,079
I Well, if it wasn't an affair, what was it,

597
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:20,279
Eleanor if it isn't an affair, what is it?

598
00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:23,759
Speaker 6: I was driving into the city and the car started

599
00:33:23,799 --> 00:33:26,200
acting up. I had to pull over to the side

600
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:29,720
of the road, and he happened by. He was very nice,

601
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:31,079
nice enough to fix it.

602
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:33,839
Speaker 2: How many times have you seen him? So many?

603
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:35,519
Speaker 6: Just a few times?

604
00:33:35,519 --> 00:33:37,200
Speaker 2: Why?

605
00:33:37,279 --> 00:33:41,079
Speaker 6: John? The day you and I met, I I said,

606
00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:45,119
John Berman, walk away, turn around and walk away fast

607
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:49,359
as you can. One day you'll hate me. That day

608
00:33:49,440 --> 00:33:53,559
is here. Why do you have to ask? Why? Look

609
00:33:53,599 --> 00:33:58,839
at yourself. You're almost seventy. I'm still eighteen. But I

610
00:33:58,960 --> 00:34:03,960
can't help it. I can't help myself. Please, Oh John, John,

611
00:34:05,039 --> 00:34:07,480
I've never had a chance to become anything but an

612
00:34:07,519 --> 00:34:11,800
eighteen year old girl. My blood is eighteen, my heart,

613
00:34:12,599 --> 00:34:17,800
my the things I want, the things I need. I'm sorry,

614
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:19,800
You're no longer.

615
00:34:21,519 --> 00:34:22,199
Speaker 2: I love you.

616
00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:25,760
Speaker 6: It's no longer the kind of love I need, Eleor

617
00:34:26,159 --> 00:34:32,760
Oh John, please pity me, pity you, yes me. How

618
00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:36,320
many times have I stood like this, talked like this,

619
00:34:36,559 --> 00:34:39,719
had my heart broken like this? And I must do

620
00:34:39,840 --> 00:34:45,360
it again and again each time. I I hope I pray,

621
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:51,639
maybe he'll be different, Maybe he'll be different. I thought,

622
00:34:51,639 --> 00:34:52,800
maybe you'd be different.

623
00:34:52,840 --> 00:34:55,239
Speaker 2: I tried. I tried to love you more.

624
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:59,000
Speaker 6: But I don't want love. I've had too much love.

625
00:35:00,119 --> 00:35:05,480
I want death. If you really loved me, you'd kill me,

626
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:09,199
kill me, and I would be free.

627
00:35:09,599 --> 00:35:12,400
Speaker 2: How can I kill you? You? You can't die?

628
00:35:12,840 --> 00:35:17,320
Speaker 6: Find a way? I don't know how? How? What do

629
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:20,880
I know? I'm just a young girl who was born

630
00:35:20,960 --> 00:35:23,559
at the end of the dark ages. This is a

631
00:35:23,599 --> 00:35:29,559
new world, civilized, scientific. Can't you find a way? You're

632
00:35:29,599 --> 00:35:30,760
a part of that world.

633
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:33,880
Speaker 3: You want me to kill you?

634
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:38,440
Speaker 6: Kill me? Take me with you when you die, I'll

635
00:35:38,440 --> 00:35:42,119
go with you. I love you best, I love you

636
00:35:42,199 --> 00:35:44,880
more than any of them. But I don't know the

637
00:35:44,960 --> 00:35:48,760
first time I have hope. You're a man like my father.

638
00:35:49,320 --> 00:35:50,039
You're a chemist.

639
00:35:50,159 --> 00:35:52,440
Speaker 2: No, No, I'm a chemical engineer and.

640
00:35:52,480 --> 00:35:55,679
Speaker 6: He was an alchemist. It's the same mystery, isn't it.

641
00:35:55,760 --> 00:36:01,400
Well he found an elixir of life. You you find

642
00:36:01,519 --> 00:36:03,159
me and alixir of death.

643
00:36:05,920 --> 00:36:08,559
Speaker 2: I thought it was crazy, but what could I do?

644
00:36:08,679 --> 00:36:11,880
I tried. I had to try, and so I went

645
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:16,880
about it scientifically. Something existed in her blood, her tissues.

646
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:20,800
I boned up again on pathology, biology, hematology.

647
00:36:20,840 --> 00:36:22,719
Speaker 3: I analyzed her blood, I searched.

648
00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:25,679
Speaker 2: I tried every approach I could think of, but there

649
00:36:25,760 --> 00:36:32,039
was nothing to be seen, nothing to be found. Did

650
00:36:32,079 --> 00:36:35,039
you ever hear your father mention any names of things

651
00:36:35,079 --> 00:36:36,840
of chemicals?

652
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:42,800
Speaker 6: Sulfur? And I tried that. I think gold, silver, merch.

653
00:36:42,800 --> 00:36:45,599
Speaker 2: Yes, yes, Anne, oil, what kind of oils?

654
00:36:46,239 --> 00:36:48,920
Speaker 6: The only kind of oils used in those days were

655
00:36:49,119 --> 00:36:53,840
olive oiled. They were used for everything, for cooking, for soothing, wombs, for.

656
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:58,280
Speaker 3: Soothing wounds, burns. Yes, yes, now let's see leixtureless postion.

657
00:36:58,440 --> 00:36:58,840
You drank?

658
00:36:59,239 --> 00:37:00,360
Speaker 2: What did it taste?

659
00:37:00,519 --> 00:37:01,360
Speaker 6: I can't remember.

660
00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:04,280
Speaker 3: You must remember it was so long ago.

661
00:37:04,840 --> 00:37:05,719
Speaker 2: Try to remember.

662
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:09,559
Speaker 6: They were breaking down the door to kill us. I

663
00:37:09,639 --> 00:37:10,320
was so frightened.

664
00:37:10,360 --> 00:37:11,599
Speaker 2: We've tried to remember.

665
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:15,079
Speaker 6: Well, he recited a certain verse.

666
00:37:15,599 --> 00:37:16,840
Speaker 2: What do you mean verse?

667
00:37:17,719 --> 00:37:21,880
Speaker 6: It was a prayer, a magic prayer. I guess you'd

668
00:37:22,079 --> 00:37:23,280
call it an incantation.

669
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:25,159
Speaker 2: I don't mean nonsense like that.

670
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:30,559
Speaker 6: Don't call it nonsense. My father believed it. Without the incantation,

671
00:37:30,760 --> 00:37:36,119
it couldn't nothing could have ever been done. Listen, I

672
00:37:36,199 --> 00:37:40,320
remember how he would say it, you ancient gods, and

673
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:44,599
all your might lead my way and grant me light.

674
00:37:45,239 --> 00:37:53,559
Speaker 2: Well, all I can do is try keep trying. And

675
00:37:53,679 --> 00:37:55,239
I did, Sheriff, I did.

676
00:37:56,239 --> 00:37:59,920
Speaker 3: I suggest you either get a new story? Are you

677
00:38:00,079 --> 00:38:01,719
stick to that one? You try to make it just

678
00:38:01,760 --> 00:38:02,760
a bit more believable?

679
00:38:02,719 --> 00:38:04,960
Speaker 2: And I know, I know it is difficult for you.

680
00:38:05,239 --> 00:38:07,639
Speaker 3: Say you try to find a way to kill her?

681
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:11,119
Speaker 2: Yes? And the other morning I thought I had matched

682
00:38:11,159 --> 00:38:14,599
something that well, I called her into my laboratory.

683
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:15,559
Speaker 6: What is it?

684
00:38:15,840 --> 00:38:16,199
Speaker 2: Drink it?

685
00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:17,840
Speaker 6: Do you think you found?

686
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:18,519
Speaker 2: I don't know.

687
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:19,320
Speaker 3: Drink it?

688
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:22,960
Speaker 6: First, you must say the prayer. Oh, please hold the

689
00:38:23,000 --> 00:38:27,559
cup to the light. Now pray say it. You ancient

690
00:38:27,679 --> 00:38:31,719
gods and all your might lead my way and grant

691
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:32,239
me light.

692
00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:37,320
Speaker 2: Oh very well, very well, you ancient gods and all

693
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:40,679
your might lead my way, and grant me light. Now

694
00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:41,280
drink it.

695
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:46,239
Speaker 6: Well, I don't know how shall I try to die?

696
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:57,880
Speaker 2: Have you ever thought of drowning? Erling? We're out of

697
00:38:58,000 --> 00:38:58,760
sight of everyone.

698
00:38:58,800 --> 00:39:01,119
Speaker 6: Now I should have gone out alone.

699
00:39:01,239 --> 00:39:02,960
Speaker 2: Why I want to be here?

700
00:39:03,199 --> 00:39:06,400
Speaker 6: Well, the mallories they saw a sleeve. If you come

701
00:39:06,440 --> 00:39:07,559
back alone, they might.

702
00:39:07,519 --> 00:39:10,360
Speaker 2: I know, I know, dear, But I won't come back alone,

703
00:39:10,360 --> 00:39:14,199
because you see, you're not going to die I'm not No.

704
00:39:14,599 --> 00:39:17,760
This potion, this formula, whatever you one call it, it

705
00:39:17,880 --> 00:39:18,480
can't work.

706
00:39:19,119 --> 00:39:21,079
Speaker 6: I feel you, But you said the prayer.

707
00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:26,559
Speaker 2: I also overheard the phone conversation, which comes I wasn't asleep.

708
00:39:26,599 --> 00:39:30,039
I listened on the extension. I shouldn't have. But you

709
00:39:30,199 --> 00:39:34,039
and Peter planned to run away today, John. I don't

710
00:39:34,079 --> 00:39:34,559
blame you.

711
00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:38,559
Speaker 6: John. If you can't kill me, I can't live with

712
00:39:38,599 --> 00:39:39,320
you any longer.

713
00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:41,760
Speaker 2: And Peter's going to be waiting for you at the

714
00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:44,559
south end of the lake. If I'm still alive, you'll

715
00:39:44,599 --> 00:39:45,079
be alive.

716
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:51,360
Speaker 6: No, somehow, I believe you're the one who's destined to

717
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:54,360
be different. You have found the way to kill it.

718
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:55,199
Speaker 2: I've found nothing.

719
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:58,920
Speaker 6: But you said the prayer, just the way my father

720
00:39:59,039 --> 00:40:02,039
said it, the same tone in your voice.

721
00:40:02,639 --> 00:40:05,400
Speaker 2: I hope you'll be happy with Peter.

722
00:40:06,559 --> 00:40:10,079
Speaker 6: I loved you. Hold down the tiller. I'm going to

723
00:40:10,079 --> 00:40:20,320
release the boom.

724
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:23,480
Speaker 2: The swinging boom caught me. I heard her scream and

725
00:40:23,480 --> 00:40:27,280
then I blacked out. When I came to well, I

726
00:40:27,360 --> 00:40:30,880
told you the story. So you think she ran off

727
00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:34,079
with the guy Peter. Yes, it was what she had planned,

728
00:40:34,119 --> 00:40:36,000
and I don't blame her.

729
00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:47,679
Speaker 3: Mister Sheriff, Yeah, Uh, sure, okay, I'll bring him right over.

730
00:40:50,280 --> 00:40:53,079
You want to put on your roll and slippers, mister Burnham?

731
00:40:53,199 --> 00:40:59,360
Oh where are we going for a little walk? There's

732
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:03,920
down the hall there around the corner. Stop at the

733
00:41:03,960 --> 00:41:04,480
next door.

734
00:41:05,239 --> 00:41:06,679
Speaker 2: Why did we come here?

735
00:41:07,679 --> 00:41:12,239
Speaker 3: That lettering on the door, what does it say? Morgue?

736
00:41:13,280 --> 00:41:17,039
Speaker 2: Why did we come to the morgue after you?

737
00:41:17,199 --> 00:41:18,840
Speaker 3: Mister Burnham?

738
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:20,559
Speaker 2: Why are we here.

739
00:41:21,880 --> 00:41:25,639
Speaker 3: On the table? Mister Burnham, you see who that is

740
00:41:26,079 --> 00:41:33,480
on the table? No Elelenor. They just got her body

741
00:41:33,480 --> 00:41:35,000
out of the lakes, drowned.

742
00:41:35,559 --> 00:41:42,559
Speaker 2: Then that I found the elixir. I don't even remember

743
00:41:42,599 --> 00:41:47,679
what I mixed. But the important thing you knew what

744
00:41:47,840 --> 00:41:49,119
the important thing.

745
00:41:49,079 --> 00:41:55,440
Speaker 3: Was, sheriff, The prayer, the prayer. But Douc says, she

746
00:41:55,519 --> 00:42:02,400
didn't die drowning. She's been poisoned. Of course. It was

747
00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:16,840
the elixir of death, and now she's free. Well she

748
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:19,360
may have been free, but poor John wasn't.

749
00:42:20,079 --> 00:42:23,840
Speaker 4: He was accused of poisoning his young wife, and although

750
00:42:23,880 --> 00:42:27,280
the jury lent a sympathetic ear to his story, they

751
00:42:27,320 --> 00:42:32,400
turned an analytical mind to the verdict, which was life.

752
00:42:32,559 --> 00:42:34,159
Speaker 2: Well, I'll be.

753
00:42:34,199 --> 00:42:50,199
Speaker 4: Back with other verdicts in just a few moments. The

754
00:42:50,199 --> 00:42:54,920
fountain of youth, the count of the young, How we

755
00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:59,800
worship them in this country, the young, the strong, the beautiful.

756
00:43:00,920 --> 00:43:04,639
How we hate to age, to mature, to crow old,

757
00:43:05,320 --> 00:43:09,159
and yet to stand still while the world goes by

758
00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:11,280
is to be left behind in.

759
00:43:11,280 --> 00:43:13,800
Speaker 3: A strange, alien place forever.

760
00:43:14,960 --> 00:43:18,679
Speaker 4: Our cast included Jennifer Harmon, Joe Silver, Brianna Rayburn, Ken

761
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:22,199
Harvey and Earl Hammond. The entire production was under the

00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:29,639
direction of Hymon Brown and now a preview of our

763
00:43:29,719 --> 00:43:30,639
next tale.

764
00:43:31,079 --> 00:43:33,199
Speaker 6: I'm only saying what everybody else is saying.

765
00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:36,679
Speaker 8: Yeah, that's what everybody keeps saying, all right, because what

766
00:43:37,159 --> 00:43:37,960
isn't true?

767
00:43:38,599 --> 00:43:42,760
Speaker 6: You had the identification? Damn Colt. What made you change

768
00:43:42,760 --> 00:43:47,760
of mind? Oliver? You were paid off? How much did

769
00:43:47,800 --> 00:43:48,119
you get?

770
00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:49,480
Speaker 8: I didn't get anything.

771
00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:53,239
Speaker 6: Do you expect me to believe that? Yes, Son, you're

772
00:43:53,280 --> 00:43:53,760
a four.

773
00:43:53,960 --> 00:43:54,760
Speaker 2: You're the one.

774
00:43:55,039 --> 00:43:57,679
Speaker 8: You're the one who kept saying, don't then evolved, don't

775
00:43:57,719 --> 00:44:00,000
identify him. Think of the safety of your family.

776
00:44:00,320 --> 00:44:02,480
Speaker 6: You also had a duty as a citizen.

777
00:44:02,960 --> 00:44:04,639
Speaker 8: Now you're hopping on that bandwagon.

778
00:44:04,679 --> 00:44:05,599
Speaker 6: What bandwagon?

779
00:44:05,719 --> 00:44:08,039
Speaker 8: Before the trial, you were saying to me, Ali, you're crazy.

780
00:44:08,440 --> 00:44:10,280
They're going to fish your carcass out of the river.

781
00:44:10,679 --> 00:44:13,800
Well he's getting mixed up in it for okay, So

782
00:44:13,880 --> 00:44:17,320
I backed off. And now everybody said, an account of

guys like you, crime is going to take over the country.

784
00:44:20,199 --> 00:44:22,000
How much would they tell you to keep your mouth shut?

785
00:44:22,159 --> 00:44:24,760
Speaker 6: That's what I run now? How much?

786
00:44:25,440 --> 00:44:29,320
Speaker 4: Radio Mystery Theater was sponsored in part by Anheuser Busch Incorporated,
