1
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:17,600
Speaker 1: Come in.

2
00:00:20,239 --> 00:00:22,879
Speaker 2: Welcome. I'm E. G.

3
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:28,359
Speaker 1: Marshall in a strange state. At the moment. Here in

4
00:00:28,359 --> 00:00:32,840
my bookline library, I've been browsing and coming across a

5
00:00:32,880 --> 00:00:38,079
welcomed copy of John Don, the great English poet. My

6
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:43,039
mind leaped instantly to his most famous lines, any man's

7
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:50,320
death diminishes me because I am involved in mankind, and

8
00:00:50,439 --> 00:00:54,159
therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls.

9
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:59,159
It tolls for thee. And suddenly I would remind her

10
00:00:59,159 --> 00:01:02,200
of a story which half relates to that duer prophecy,

11
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:09,120
and half well judge for yourself. Our mystery drama, When

12
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:13,120
the Death Bell Tolls was written especially for the Mystery

13
00:01:13,159 --> 00:01:17,239
Theater by Ian Martin and stars Mary Jane Higbee and

14
00:01:17,439 --> 00:01:21,319
Rosemary Rice. It is sponsored in part by Buick Motor

15
00:01:21,359 --> 00:01:25,680
Division and sin Off the Sinus Medicines. I'll be back

16
00:01:25,760 --> 00:01:39,040
shortly with that one. There is no terror greater than

17
00:01:39,079 --> 00:01:43,159
the terror of the unknown. That's a cliche. Almost all

18
00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:47,200
of us except without question, and yet so few of

19
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:51,640
us ever really face it, except vicariously. But the shakiness

20
00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,760
of the simple matter of living through each day and

21
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:58,400
reaching for tomorrow touches all of our lives. At one

22
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:02,079
time or another. This is a story that begins with

23
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,680
the most common and ultimate terror most of us in

24
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:10,400
our mechanized world can face the automobile out of control

25
00:02:10,919 --> 00:02:27,560
and headed for unavoidable destruction. All right, everyone in college,

26
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:31,520
doctor Jolie, Yes, have they all days? Get the man

27
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:33,280
into emergency and get.

28
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:34,479
Speaker 2: Me a rundown on him right away.

29
00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,919
Speaker 1: A woman is dad, nurse, take her the morgue.

30
00:02:39,479 --> 00:02:41,439
Speaker 2: Okay, chargon. How did it happen?

31
00:02:41,719 --> 00:02:44,719
Speaker 1: Well, I was on patrol with my buddy doctor, and

32
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,479
we just called it our two am check and we

33
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:50,680
had this crash. Now, from the found of it, I

34
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:54,479
knew it had to be Slave's Corner. Why and if

35
00:02:54,479 --> 00:02:57,840
you don't mind, tell me as we walk into emergency now,

36
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,039
I don't know if you know that. Yes, very very

37
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:05,000
right right where it takes that almost forty five degree

38
00:03:05,080 --> 00:03:08,599
turn with old manuschleats private brick wall facing. If you

39
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:11,199
don't make it, and that's what they hit up.

40
00:03:11,199 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 3: Oh, it's about head on.

41
00:03:13,199 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 1: He'd started to make a left hard so the passenger

42
00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:18,159
side took the worst part of the collision.

43
00:03:18,199 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 2: I'm not sure the woman is dead. That was far

44
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:22,520
too damn car.

45
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:23,719
Speaker 3: Went up like a rocket.

46
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:26,319
Speaker 1: That the guy managed to roll out and get away

47
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:31,240
from the flames. But the woman, well you saw her, Yes,

48
00:03:31,879 --> 00:03:34,800
she was lucky at that her neck was broken at

49
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,840
the moment of impact or I never even felt a flame.

50
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:39,280
Speaker 4: There wouldn't be none of her.

51
00:03:39,280 --> 00:03:41,199
Speaker 1: Left if we hadn't been able to hook her out

52
00:03:41,199 --> 00:03:44,199
of there. The car was still burning when we left

53
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:45,000
with the ambulance.

54
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:45,840
Speaker 2: You know who they are.

55
00:03:46,319 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: He got some identification off the guy, Guiver's license contder Dana.

56
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:55,719
Trent's his name? Okay, Oh, you give the admitting office

57
00:03:55,759 --> 00:03:59,039
all the information you got while I checked mister Trent

58
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,639
out with doctor and yeah, I'll take care of it.

59
00:04:03,439 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 2: Oh how does it look, dumb?

60
00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,599
Speaker 1: You can shock after I've got whole blood on the way,

61
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,080
four quarts. He don't knows how much he's lost. The

62
00:04:10,199 --> 00:04:13,199
where you want to stuck his hand through the windshield,

63
00:04:13,759 --> 00:04:15,520
both the radius and the ool and a green stick

64
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:18,040
fractors and the radio lottery was cut. I futuring it now.

65
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,600
Oh that's finess, Gus. Bring the tree around of us

66
00:04:22,879 --> 00:04:27,120
right side and get me a canola. You gotta make

67
00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:29,399
the cut down fast and get some blood into this baby.

68
00:04:30,759 --> 00:04:37,160
Speaker 2: Biggess who got you have to move fast swab. Yeah,

69
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:43,279
that's it. Pains shot to hell. My turious sclerotic.

70
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:50,360
Speaker 1: I's have the needle. Can't get through that, counk, give

71
00:04:50,360 --> 00:04:55,319
me a smaller one. It's too young hardening like that

72
00:04:55,959 --> 00:04:59,879
must been a high little Yah, that's better.

73
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 2: It's a blood movie.

74
00:05:01,759 --> 00:05:03,120
Speaker 1: Yes, doctors starting to feed in.

75
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:06,079
Speaker 2: Okay, how are you coming down? I got the.

76
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,199
Speaker 1: Facier suit you day? You want me to do the

77
00:05:08,319 --> 00:05:14,279
fancy work? No, I trust you. Embroidery, Yeah, it's funny.

78
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,199
If it's funny, tell me I could use a lad.

79
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 2: Oh, not funny that way.

80
00:05:20,079 --> 00:05:22,160
Speaker 1: When I was starting with the sergeant from his report,

81
00:05:22,199 --> 00:05:23,920
he must have gotten to the accident within a couple

82
00:05:23,959 --> 00:05:26,519
of minutes. They had a tornic ut on mister Trent

83
00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:28,079
here as soon as they had him on the ambulance,

84
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:30,759
and the police must have done something to send him

85
00:05:30,759 --> 00:05:34,480
the bleeding until it had got there. So how color

86
00:05:34,519 --> 00:05:38,079
he's lost so much blood? Search me, you can see

87
00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:39,560
what deep shock he's in.

88
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:41,279
Speaker 2: Did you powpad him a toe?

89
00:05:41,759 --> 00:05:41,920
Speaker 3: Now?

90
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 1: It's too busy thicking of his arm.

91
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:46,639
Speaker 2: Okay, there's some movie's on the arm. Out of my way.

92
00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:51,199
Speaker 1: But make sure that blood keeps feeding. Yes, yeah, there's

93
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,639
no sign from the outside hit that hard when he

94
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:56,399
took most of the force of the shock on his.

95
00:05:56,439 --> 00:05:59,079
Speaker 2: Arm and had him on this play which it.

96
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:05,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I'm like the feel of his louver. I

97
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:09,639
I can't locate the screen. Nurse, yes a lot or

98
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:16,199
our possible emergency operation hepatography, see if Gentry's free to assist.

99
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:17,879
Speaker 4: Yet, Doctor, Uh, what about anesthesia.

100
00:06:17,959 --> 00:06:20,480
Speaker 1: I'll get doctor Schultz for the anesthesia general in hilation.

101
00:06:20,879 --> 00:06:24,839
But uh, tell him the spleen is involved. Yes, it's

102
00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:29,160
amo a dom, it's supper stitch. I know, sir that

103
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,839
maybe I speak is a poor old twenty seven year

104
00:06:32,879 --> 00:06:37,639
old resident internist. But is an operational leading necessary If

105
00:06:37,639 --> 00:06:40,439
there's looper damage, can't we control itth metically? It could

106
00:06:40,439 --> 00:06:42,439
be fatal enough to go in and stop the bleeding.

107
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,800
I'm sure as there it could be just as fatal

108
00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,519
to operate while he's in deep shock. It's a tass up,

109
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,399
but we don't have to argue about it yet. Let's

110
00:06:51,399 --> 00:06:53,600
get him an act ray and patch up his other troubles.

111
00:06:54,399 --> 00:06:55,800
You will hand a lot while I go out and

112
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:57,639
see the sergeant and find out a little bit more

113
00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,720
about just who this carcass is, but.

114
00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:01,079
Speaker 2: We're arguing about.

115
00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:05,920
Speaker 1: How's the patient?

116
00:07:06,040 --> 00:07:06,199
Speaker 4: Doc?

117
00:07:07,279 --> 00:07:10,439
Speaker 1: There's touch and goes argent, did you get an identification?

118
00:07:11,079 --> 00:07:11,399
Speaker 3: Did I?

119
00:07:11,639 --> 00:07:14,879
Speaker 1: And have we bought ourselves alive? One? See this guy

120
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,519
Trent Now. Reason I guess none of us reacted to

121
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:19,199
muck to his name is he's been out of the

122
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:20,079
picture a long time.

123
00:07:20,519 --> 00:07:21,639
Speaker 4: I thought they got divorced.

124
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:28,120
Speaker 1: Who Lara Stanton than him? Laura Stanton the Philadelphia Stanton's

125
00:07:28,439 --> 00:07:33,560
multi millionaire family. She married this actor who turned out

126
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:37,399
to be a real bad actor maybe twenty years ago.

127
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:39,199
Speaker 2: It'd be out of my circle.

128
00:07:39,319 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 1: Some of them kind of people are outside of my

129
00:07:41,040 --> 00:07:44,800
circle in one way and in another way they ain't.

130
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:47,879
I just talked to little Lieutenant and he wants to

131
00:07:47,959 --> 00:07:50,439
keep this under wraps until we get the starry strange

132
00:07:50,519 --> 00:07:54,480
not first of all, is this guy gonna live? I

133
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:57,120
can't answer that charge. She's the next ray now, and

134
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,759
where we go from there's an open book. One thing

135
00:08:00,759 --> 00:08:03,319
I do know. But now he's identified, we've got to

136
00:08:03,319 --> 00:08:07,360
get his family or his nearest dravative here fast. I

137
00:08:07,399 --> 00:08:09,439
get that'd be a doctor, and I mean have her

138
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,399
phone numbers so I can bring her in. My guess

139
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:16,160
is that an emergency operation is indicated. Technically, i'd need

140
00:08:16,199 --> 00:08:19,040
permission to go ahead with the risk involved. But you're busy, Doc,

141
00:08:19,079 --> 00:08:20,920
Why won't you let me handle that for you. I'll

142
00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:22,040
get her down here right away.

143
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,560
Speaker 2: Okay, I'll be right with you.

144
00:08:25,639 --> 00:08:29,279
Speaker 1: Dom. He's got some wet blates may tell the story

145
00:08:29,319 --> 00:08:32,320
better than we know yet, but I have a hunch

146
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:36,799
I have to operate and more you tell me, I'd

147
00:08:36,799 --> 00:08:39,200
feel a lot safer if I had the family's permission.

148
00:08:39,399 --> 00:08:40,799
Speaker 3: I won't let you down, Doc.

149
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,919
Speaker 1: Now, they're still wet, a little hard to read what

150
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,600
you see on the scanner. No booken libs. Maybe the

151
00:08:51,639 --> 00:08:54,159
sixth seventh cracked a little, but no real factory.

152
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree.

153
00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:59,919
Speaker 1: No evidence of fracture or that the liver was damaged externally.

154
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,960
Damn it, this is it's a gut reaction. I know

155
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:08,279
it's bleeding there door ruhematoma, pelvic chema, tod aurism.

156
00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 2: I don't know. I think we gotta go in.

157
00:09:12,039 --> 00:09:16,559
Speaker 1: Only two things against that old buddy. What now, First,

158
00:09:16,799 --> 00:09:18,320
we've got to build him up so he can take

159
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:18,879
the operation.

160
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:21,200
Speaker 2: Okay, no argument there, But what's number two?

161
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:26,120
Speaker 1: Two? You've gotta keep your own skirts clean. Someone in

162
00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:29,279
the family's gotta sign a relief. There's no problem in

163
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:31,840
that his daughter has been contacted and she's on her

164
00:09:31,840 --> 00:09:36,080
way to the hospital right now. It's how's that retiring

165
00:09:37,919 --> 00:09:47,559
doctor Hobby? Oh, missus Harcourt Stamton, she did no, no,

166
00:09:47,639 --> 00:09:49,720
I I'm expecting of missus Olivia tran.

167
00:09:50,159 --> 00:09:51,960
Speaker 2: Oh wait will wait a minute, wait a minute?

168
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:54,480
Speaker 1: That must be the grandmother has, of course hand her

169
00:09:54,519 --> 00:10:00,559
right in. See is this the uh legendary sus Stanton,

170
00:10:00,639 --> 00:10:03,360
the one who wore sneakers at the inauguration ball? And

171
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:06,600
I know nothing about the ladies of dear sincrasism. I

172
00:10:06,639 --> 00:10:08,799
guess with her background she can afford to do it.

173
00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:11,200
You're about to learn some of her idiosyncrasies.

174
00:10:12,039 --> 00:10:13,559
Speaker 2: How do you know so much about her?

175
00:10:13,639 --> 00:10:16,799
Speaker 1: I was born and bred and poli just outside of Philly.

176
00:10:17,080 --> 00:10:19,960
I'm a treasure house of knowledge about it and rittenhouse

177
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:23,240
square and then people like the Stamtons.

178
00:10:23,519 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 2: Uh.

179
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:26,679
Speaker 1: You want me to let her in before she breaks

180
00:10:26,679 --> 00:10:26,919
it down?

181
00:10:27,039 --> 00:10:28,200
Speaker 2: Yeah? I'm never get better.

182
00:10:30,039 --> 00:10:34,240
Speaker 4: About time. I did test being kept waiting so very

183
00:10:34,279 --> 00:10:35,799
young for surgeon doctor RB.

184
00:10:36,159 --> 00:10:39,080
Speaker 1: I'm doctor Rinzulie. I'm the resident. All I do is

185
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:42,519
make guesses the mistakes. I leave up the doctor Hobb,

186
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:46,039
won't you, saddam? Missus Stanton, so you know who I am?

187
00:10:46,039 --> 00:10:46,120
Speaker 3: Oh?

188
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 1: Yes, the nurse warned me, I mean alerted me. I uh,

189
00:10:52,759 --> 00:10:56,759
I was expecting your granddaughter. As terms, Olivia seldom leaves

190
00:10:56,799 --> 00:10:58,559
the house. She is a recluse.

191
00:10:58,799 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 4: She is extremely delicate, easily upset. Besides, she would have

192
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:05,000
been of no legal use to you. She hasn't reached

193
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:10,279
her eighteenth birthday yet. I'm still her legal guardian. I see, uh,

194
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,440
I understand you want permission to operate on my son

195
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:13,879
in law.

196
00:11:14,519 --> 00:11:17,759
Speaker 1: Well, we would merely like authorization in case that you've

197
00:11:17,759 --> 00:11:18,519
become necessary.

198
00:11:18,639 --> 00:11:19,519
Speaker 3: Well, he's it.

199
00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,200
Speaker 2: I'm afraid it doesn't quite that simple, Missus Stanton.

200
00:11:22,279 --> 00:11:25,080
Speaker 1: Why not you know what happened early this morning?

201
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,039
Speaker 4: I know that my daughter Laura left our house with

202
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,960
her husband, and that he smashed the car into a

203
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:31,600
stone wall.

204
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:33,759
Speaker 1: He smashed himself into the same wall.

205
00:11:33,879 --> 00:11:37,279
Speaker 4: Only my daughter is dead and he is still alive,

206
00:11:37,559 --> 00:11:39,440
but very seriously injured.

207
00:11:40,519 --> 00:11:43,480
Speaker 1: There's damage to the liver, probably the spleen is affected,

208
00:11:43,519 --> 00:11:46,679
and there's hematomon severe internal bleeding.

209
00:11:47,080 --> 00:11:49,639
Speaker 4: At this moment, what would you estimate his chances of

210
00:11:49,679 --> 00:11:51,799
recovery from his surgical procedure might be.

211
00:11:52,639 --> 00:11:56,159
Speaker 2: I can be too hopeful, perhaps fifty to fifty.

212
00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:59,159
Speaker 4: And if the operation is not performed, a doctor ansuri

213
00:11:59,360 --> 00:12:01,720
well it is condition doesn't improve in the next twelve

214
00:12:01,799 --> 00:12:02,679
to twenty four hours.

215
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,799
Speaker 1: I could be wrong. The operation would become mandatory, but

216
00:12:05,879 --> 00:12:06,200
if we.

217
00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:09,879
Speaker 4: Wait in the meantime he might bleed to death.

218
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 2: We'd never let it go that far her.

219
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:15,879
Speaker 4: But in your opinion, without the operation, his chances of

220
00:12:15,919 --> 00:12:17,120
survival would be lessened.

221
00:12:18,399 --> 00:12:22,679
Speaker 3: In my opinion, yes, thank you, gentlemen.

222
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:24,159
Speaker 4: That's all I wanted to know.

223
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,960
Speaker 1: I have a consent form for the operation here, Missus Stanton,

224
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:29,159
if you just sign it now.

225
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:32,759
Speaker 4: I haven't the slightest intention of signing it. I hope

226
00:12:32,759 --> 00:12:35,399
you're right, doctor Hobbs, and that Trent bleeds to death

227
00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:39,000
as you anticipate. It would be a small return for

228
00:12:39,039 --> 00:12:43,159
the way he has bled my family. I absolutely forbid

229
00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:47,320
any operation, But Vicius Stanton, I'm gambling that you are right,

230
00:12:47,399 --> 00:12:51,279
Doctor Hobbs, and doctor Renzuley is wrong. The best this

231
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,679
man deserves is to die, and I would be happy

232
00:12:54,759 --> 00:12:56,840
to think he did it the same way he did

233
00:12:56,840 --> 00:13:03,519
it to my daughter. Slowly adversibly, just to bleat to death.

234
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:13,679
Speaker 1: There are drives and forces without the supernatural, just as

235
00:13:13,840 --> 00:13:17,679
terrifying as the fires of hell the curses of witches.

236
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:23,080
Here now today, an old woman, embittered by who knows

237
00:13:23,159 --> 00:13:27,080
what passed depredations against her and her family, seems to

238
00:13:27,159 --> 00:13:30,639
hold the fate of a man quite literally in her hands.

239
00:13:31,519 --> 00:13:34,480
Is she right or wrong to deny Dana Trent his

240
00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:49,639
chance for life? I'll return shortly with that too. Doctor

241
00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:54,559
Mitchell Hobbes, Assistant Chief of Surgery at Temple Hospital, had

242
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:58,679
been on duty for nearly twenty four hours. After leaving

243
00:13:58,720 --> 00:14:03,320
instructions about his patient, he allowed himself the necessary luxury

244
00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:04,000
of some sleep.

245
00:14:05,039 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 3: But when his.

246
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:10,159
Speaker 1: Alarm woke him at seven am, and after examining Dana Trent,

247
00:14:10,639 --> 00:14:17,639
this quiet and controlled man became a raging tiger. Nurse nurse, yes, stopt,

248
00:14:17,840 --> 00:14:19,240
where is doctor rigulation?

249
00:14:19,639 --> 00:14:21,279
Speaker 4: He wout less than an hour ago?

250
00:14:21,399 --> 00:14:22,279
Speaker 3: He left this for you?

251
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:24,240
Speaker 1: What is it with the note of the letter?

252
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:26,279
Speaker 2: How come he was waking before me?

253
00:14:26,639 --> 00:14:28,799
Speaker 4: Well, he only had the duty since eight last night.

254
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:30,519
He told us to wake him instead of you is

255
00:14:30,639 --> 00:14:31,080
next day?

256
00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,000
Speaker 1: Is this a hospital or a fraternity house? Why should

257
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:35,279
he take it upon himself.

258
00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:37,639
Speaker 2: Oh wait a minute.

259
00:14:38,279 --> 00:14:41,039
Speaker 1: I'm afraid you're right about Trent, but I don't want

260
00:14:41,080 --> 00:14:43,759
you sticking your neck out. I've gone to the old

261
00:14:43,919 --> 00:14:47,720
witch to try to change your mind. Wait till you're

262
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:51,799
here from me, Damn, young fool. There isn't any time

263
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:55,399
to wait. Michael's a patient, all right, Not get on

264
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:58,600
the pipe. I want Trent in five sixteen pep right away,

265
00:14:59,080 --> 00:15:01,919
alert O ar the same orders as earlier this morning.

266
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,519
If doctor Zuli doesn't get back within half an hour,

267
00:15:04,519 --> 00:15:07,559
I'm going ahead. Permission or no permission. I'll need an

268
00:15:07,559 --> 00:15:10,639
assistant than the full abdominal team. I'm the best anesthesiologist

269
00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,399
you can dig up. Maybe you can still get me gentry.

270
00:15:13,399 --> 00:15:15,799
You only lose a couple of blocks away. But I'm

271
00:15:15,799 --> 00:15:19,600
servingly noticed. This is emergency capital ef you.

272
00:15:19,919 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 4: Do you have a clearance I can follow with surgery cup.

273
00:15:22,279 --> 00:15:22,879
Speaker 2: No, I don't.

274
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:25,799
Speaker 1: If I lose the patient, minex on the block, and

275
00:15:25,879 --> 00:15:28,559
if anyone wants uscalpel to cut it loose, he can

276
00:15:28,639 --> 00:15:38,720
have mine.

277
00:15:39,679 --> 00:15:39,879
Speaker 2: Yes.

278
00:15:40,399 --> 00:15:45,039
Speaker 1: Good morning, I'm doctor Dominic Rinzuoli from Temple Hospital. I've

279
00:15:45,039 --> 00:15:46,960
been trying to reach you by phone, but it seems

280
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:47,600
to be out of order.

281
00:15:47,960 --> 00:15:52,000
Speaker 4: Oh my grandmother ordered it. Taking off the hook. I'm Lily,

282
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:54,519
I mean, Olivia Trent. Is something wrong?

283
00:15:55,440 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'm gonna level with you, Miss Trent. There's

284
00:15:59,120 --> 00:16:01,440
a whole lot wrong. Could could I see your grandmother?

285
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:03,120
I I hate to rush you, but time is of

286
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:04,240
the essence, is it?

287
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:04,919
Speaker 4: At my father?

288
00:16:05,159 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 1: Yes?

289
00:16:05,799 --> 00:16:05,919
Speaker 4: Oh?

290
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:07,080
Speaker 1: Please, thank you.

291
00:16:08,759 --> 00:16:13,120
Speaker 4: I'm to say I can't disturb grandma. She but when

292
00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:15,480
she got back from the hospital earlier this morning, I

293
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,360
was afraid she was going to collapse. So I gave

294
00:16:18,399 --> 00:16:19,919
her a senators and got her to bed.

295
00:16:20,399 --> 00:16:24,120
Speaker 1: Yeah. Now, I can't put it anyway, but right on

296
00:16:24,159 --> 00:16:28,639
the line, Miss Trent, it's your father's life now. My chief,

297
00:16:29,639 --> 00:16:32,000
a guy I think is the greatest surgeon in the world,

298
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:35,320
is gonna operate on your father without consent, and your

299
00:16:35,360 --> 00:16:38,600
grandmother is powerful enough to end his career if anything

300
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,879
goes wrong. I don't wanna take that chance.

301
00:16:42,799 --> 00:16:46,440
Speaker 4: I see, did you bring the consent with you?

302
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 2: Well?

303
00:16:47,320 --> 00:16:50,960
Speaker 4: Uh, sure, and give it to me and I'll sign it.

304
00:16:51,879 --> 00:16:55,600
Speaker 1: Uh. I I appreciate that, Miss Trent, but you're not

305
00:16:55,679 --> 00:16:57,320
of age, I mean legal age.

306
00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:58,279
Speaker 4: I am eighteen.

307
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:00,320
Speaker 2: But your grandmother said what.

308
00:17:01,039 --> 00:17:04,680
Speaker 4: Look, grandmother does and says a lot of things to

309
00:17:04,759 --> 00:17:08,240
protect me. It's her way of life. I guess the

310
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:10,000
person would only have to look at me to see

311
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:14,119
how overprotected I am. Well, at about time, I did

312
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:17,920
something on my own, So please let me sign the paper.

313
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:21,359
It'll be quite legal. Well, wh would you like to

314
00:17:21,359 --> 00:17:22,720
see a copy of my birthday? Says it.

315
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:23,960
Speaker 1: No, No, it isn't that it.

316
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:26,599
Speaker 4: Are you scared about what Grandma's attitude will be.

317
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 1: I I just don't wanna get you or anyone in trouble.

318
00:17:32,319 --> 00:17:35,960
And your grandmother has already refused permission for the operation.

319
00:17:36,319 --> 00:17:39,319
Speaker 4: Because she wants my father to die.

320
00:17:39,599 --> 00:17:41,119
Speaker 1: But naturally you don't.

321
00:17:42,759 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 4: I guess this will sound terrible to you, but I

322
00:17:45,519 --> 00:17:48,960
don't care. He's made a pretty good job of wrecking

323
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:53,519
all of our lives. But mother asked me last night,

324
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:57,680
well that's beside the point. What it is, I suppose,

325
00:17:57,839 --> 00:18:00,880
is whatever else he is, he is a being, isn't he?

326
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:03,039
So where do I sign?

327
00:18:04,039 --> 00:18:08,359
Speaker 1: If you're sure that you know what you're doing. I'm

328
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:10,960
sure you gotta read it first.

329
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:16,200
Speaker 4: It doesn't matter, she said. To save a little love

330
00:18:16,279 --> 00:18:21,359
for him. If that makes her happy, that's what I want.

331
00:18:21,839 --> 00:18:26,039
Speaker 1: Okay, he's said sir, a table somewhere.

332
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:29,799
Speaker 4: Oh the phone, give me depends.

333
00:18:34,519 --> 00:18:37,440
Speaker 1: Where the hell are you and don't keep me a mile.

334
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:38,799
Speaker 2: I'm on my way to operate.

335
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:40,680
Speaker 1: That's what I wanted to talk to you about, but

336
00:18:40,839 --> 00:18:41,160
I don't.

337
00:18:41,240 --> 00:18:42,759
Speaker 2: If you can see the butt out of the rest

338
00:18:42,759 --> 00:18:44,200
of his finals, you.

339
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 4: More dumb man.

340
00:18:45,079 --> 00:18:47,759
Speaker 1: I just wanted you know you have my blessings and

341
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:52,000
the family's signature. You mean you got that couple name

342
00:18:52,079 --> 00:18:54,720
to sign a release. I didn't have to kill that windmill.

343
00:18:54,799 --> 00:18:58,519
I have Miss Trent's signature, but she's under ear not.

344
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:02,079
I am sitting here gazing at a legal document I

345
00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:03,960
haven't seen since I did my tour of duty as

346
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:08,000
an intern on the ob floor. A birth certificate. Olivia

347
00:19:08,119 --> 00:19:11,119
pears In Trent is a dattering old crown of practically nineteen,

348
00:19:11,440 --> 00:19:13,519
and she signed to consent for which I'm about to

349
00:19:13,519 --> 00:19:14,359
bring back.

350
00:19:14,319 --> 00:19:15,160
Speaker 2: To the hospital.

351
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:18,319
Speaker 1: Lady killers, my father used in a.

352
00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:21,079
Speaker 4: See you at the shop all.

353
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:22,599
Speaker 1: By the time you do, it'll all.

354
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:23,559
Speaker 4: Be over one way or the other.

355
00:19:24,599 --> 00:19:27,000
Speaker 1: I'm on my way to the operating room right now.

356
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,079
Speaker 3: May I ask what you're doing in my house? Doctor?

357
00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:36,400
Speaker 4: Doctor Glenzilly grandmother and he came here to get permission

358
00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:37,079
to operate on.

359
00:19:37,079 --> 00:19:39,400
Speaker 3: Daddy, and you gave it.

360
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:45,279
Speaker 4: Yes, no matter what he's done, no amount of wrongs

361
00:19:45,319 --> 00:19:48,599
make a right. Well, I suppose there's no way. I

362
00:19:48,839 --> 00:19:52,440
rarely could have stopped it. But before you leave, doctor Lenzuli,

363
00:19:53,559 --> 00:19:56,119
I want you doctors to know what kind of man

364
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:57,039
you're trying to save.

365
00:19:57,359 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 1: Missus Stemmon, Oh no, you forced.

366
00:19:59,240 --> 00:19:59,920
Speaker 3: Yourself into this.

367
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:03,640
Speaker 4: You stay until I shame the devil enough to tar

368
00:20:03,839 --> 00:20:05,839
you with the same brush shit grandmother.

369
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:07,359
Speaker 3: Please, when one.

370
00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:11,400
Speaker 4: Is as prominent socially as the Stantons are, and as

371
00:20:11,440 --> 00:20:18,200
well say, one needs constant protect you grandmother's guiet, especially girls.

372
00:20:19,079 --> 00:20:22,519
I tried to protect Laura as carefully as I protect Olivia.

373
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:25,440
Speaker 3: But I think I can't.

374
00:20:25,160 --> 00:20:27,519
Speaker 4: Live other people's lives for than they had to live

375
00:20:27,559 --> 00:20:29,720
their own. Would you want me to have let you

376
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,160
free to lead the life your mother land. Maybe if

377
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,240
she'd had more freedom of choice, she mightn't have vented

378
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:36,839
up as she did. You're making me responsible for that.

379
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:41,240
Speaker 1: No U, Missus Stanton, I I really I'm not.

380
00:20:41,319 --> 00:20:42,359
Speaker 3: Finished yet, young man.

381
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:47,400
Speaker 4: I had a very difficult time having Olivia's mother. I

382
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:50,119
lost three children before she came, and I never could

383
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:51,279
have any more after her.

384
00:20:51,799 --> 00:20:53,160
Speaker 3: I was also doct as.

385
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 4: Young as I should have been, and she was premature.

386
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:58,640
It was a very difficult time for me, particularly since

387
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:01,359
within a year after I brought Laurie home, my husband

388
00:21:01,359 --> 00:21:02,400
died very suddenly.

389
00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:05,480
Speaker 3: See Laurie never knew a father.

390
00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:09,359
Speaker 4: I had to bring her up and protect her grandmother.

391
00:21:09,839 --> 00:21:17,200
H hush, I want to get this said. There there

392
00:21:17,240 --> 00:21:20,880
was a young man in my husband's organization named Nana Trent.

393
00:21:21,839 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 3: He was my husband's secretary. He was a great deal

394
00:21:25,039 --> 00:21:27,400
of help through the years. I thought then because.

395
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,960
Speaker 4: Of his regard for my husband, I would have advanced

396
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:33,920
him in the business, but he lacked ambition and I

397
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:37,240
needed him for other things. He was a suitable escort

398
00:21:37,279 --> 00:21:40,319
for a widow, and Laura was crazy about him from

399
00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:44,200
the time she could walk and talk. I could never

400
00:21:44,319 --> 00:21:47,160
marry again after Court died, and I felt that he

401
00:21:47,480 --> 00:21:51,200
served rather well as a sort of surrogate.

402
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:53,559
Speaker 3: Father for Laura home. He was a charmer with.

403
00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:56,559
Speaker 4: Very winning ways and handsome and I thought that he

404
00:21:56,599 --> 00:22:00,160
had every luxury. I'm a very tough, smart woman, but

405
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:05,720
about some things we can all be blind. And when

406
00:22:05,759 --> 00:22:10,720
Laura was sixteen, mister Dana Trent made his first re

407
00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:13,519
payment of my kindness and indulgence.

408
00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:20,680
Speaker 1: What Laurie is going to have my child? It seemed

409
00:22:20,720 --> 00:22:22,799
appropriate for me to request.

410
00:22:22,319 --> 00:22:23,599
Speaker 2: Her hand in marriage.

411
00:22:24,039 --> 00:22:29,640
Speaker 4: She unspeakable, Laurah, is this true?

412
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:30,720
Speaker 3: Yes, Mama?

413
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:36,160
Speaker 1: How long in her fourth Mom too late to do

414
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:38,359
anything about it. I assure you that's what you think.

415
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:42,240
Speaker 4: I'm going to have you arrested for statutory rape. You do, mother,

416
00:22:42,319 --> 00:22:47,039
and I'll kill myself. I love Dana. I've always loved him,

417
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:50,240
and I want to marry him. I want to have

418
00:22:50,319 --> 00:22:53,680
his child, just as I've always loved Laura. You know that.

419
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:55,119
Speaker 3: Leave the room, Laura.

420
00:22:55,279 --> 00:22:59,640
Speaker 2: It's no use, all right, honey, go ahead, Just leave.

421
00:22:59,559 --> 00:23:00,160
Speaker 3: This up to me.

422
00:23:01,119 --> 00:23:04,519
Speaker 4: Everything is up to you from now on and for always.

423
00:23:04,599 --> 00:23:07,119
Speaker 3: Dana, I love you.

424
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 4: If I had a gun, Dana, i'd kid No.

425
00:23:14,240 --> 00:23:15,119
Speaker 2: No, you wouldn't.

426
00:23:16,079 --> 00:23:16,400
Speaker 4: You know.

427
00:23:16,559 --> 00:23:20,599
Speaker 1: Laura's future depends on me, her happiness. You wouldn't do

428
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:24,960
anything to destroy that. So we shall be married, go

429
00:23:25,039 --> 00:23:27,559
to Europe, drop out of sight for a year or so,

430
00:23:28,079 --> 00:23:32,359
and then bring you back your grandchild. Oh then maybe

431
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:35,640
a little talk, but that blows off soon enough. Now

432
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:38,839
shall we discuss income?

433
00:23:40,039 --> 00:23:41,960
Speaker 2: I warn you I shall expect it to be a

434
00:23:42,039 --> 00:23:43,160
rather large one.

435
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:49,400
Speaker 4: It was a very large one. And they did bring

436
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,440
my granddaughter back to me and abandoned her with me.

437
00:23:53,599 --> 00:23:56,000
I know it broke Laura's hard to leave her baby,

438
00:23:56,599 --> 00:24:01,319
but Dana had her still bound. She was his, his

439
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:05,759
his to do it is he wanted. I'd wanted love

440
00:24:05,839 --> 00:24:08,559
for my daughter, but not a sick love like this.

441
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,400
The next ten years, he dragged her all over Europe's

442
00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:17,480
scandal after scandal, women drinking, gambling, Heaven knows what other

443
00:24:17,599 --> 00:24:23,000
filth he dragged her through. When I finally rushed to

444
00:24:23,079 --> 00:24:27,480
Paris to answer her cry for help, I could scarcely

445
00:24:27,559 --> 00:24:30,000
recognize the ghost that opened the door to let me

446
00:24:30,079 --> 00:24:39,240
hear LOA, Oh good lord, my poor baby, what happened

447
00:24:39,240 --> 00:24:44,240
to you? I lost my baby, Mammy, you know, honey,

448
00:24:44,319 --> 00:24:47,359
Libby is alive and well. I almost brought her with me.

449
00:24:48,559 --> 00:24:56,519
Libby Olivia your daughter? Oh, I lost my baby?

450
00:24:57,400 --> 00:24:58,839
Speaker 1: This other one.

451
00:24:59,200 --> 00:25:04,799
Speaker 4: Oh you were pregnant and the game. Yes, pregnant, And

452
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:05,799
I didn't order it.

453
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:07,920
Speaker 2: He made me.

454
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 4: I went to a doctor. There isn't anymore baby. I

455
00:25:17,079 --> 00:25:19,319
did it for him.

456
00:25:19,359 --> 00:25:23,240
Speaker 3: Where is danger? He left me.

457
00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:31,119
Speaker 4: Because I had the these things that happened. I'm I'm

458
00:25:31,160 --> 00:25:37,200
not myself a lot of the time. Who is Laura?

459
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:44,680
I I don't remember if I kind out dangna, I

460
00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:47,920
want my mom, I wanna came home.

461
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:54,200
Speaker 3: That's the man you want to save.

462
00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:56,880
Speaker 1: Your daughter never got a divorce, No.

463
00:25:57,680 --> 00:26:01,160
Speaker 4: Because incredibly, even if to the last, she was in

464
00:26:01,200 --> 00:26:05,200
love with him. And besides, my mother was in hospitals

465
00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:09,640
and sanitarians until the beginning of this year. She came

466
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:12,559
home for my eighteenth birthday, and so did Dana Trent

467
00:26:13,119 --> 00:26:14,400
what was left of him?

468
00:26:14,559 --> 00:26:16,079
Speaker 3: Do you know why, doctor m No?

469
00:26:16,160 --> 00:26:19,160
Speaker 1: But uh, really, missus Stanton, I must get back.

470
00:26:19,279 --> 00:26:22,519
Speaker 4: I'm almost finished. Before my husband died, he'd settled a

471
00:26:22,640 --> 00:26:26,200
large trust fund on Libby. It came to you on

472
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:28,200
her eighteenth birthday.

473
00:26:28,759 --> 00:26:29,400
Speaker 3: You gave the.

474
00:26:29,359 --> 00:26:33,680
Speaker 4: Money to your mother, didn't you, Libby? Yes, it was mine,

475
00:26:34,839 --> 00:26:37,000
and mother wanted to pay you back for supporting her

476
00:26:37,039 --> 00:26:39,440
all these years. I thought it would make her see

477
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:41,480
what she really wanted it for was to run away

478
00:26:41,519 --> 00:26:44,400
with your father again. It was found in the trunk

479
00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:47,680
of the car after the smash up. You still want

480
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:50,200
to say that that's come that?

481
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:57,920
Speaker 1: Sil Uh missus Stanton, I look, I I'm sympathetic and

482
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:02,440
and I'm appalled, But doctor are not judges. Our only

483
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:06,200
function is to save lives, good or bad.

484
00:27:07,599 --> 00:27:12,200
Speaker 3: Very well. I hope you'll fail, young man, because.

485
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:15,839
Speaker 4: If you don't, I will not have my granddaughter put

486
00:27:15,880 --> 00:27:19,400
through the agony her mother has suffered. I'll find a

487
00:27:19,400 --> 00:27:22,240
way to take care of Dana Trent myself.

488
00:27:28,680 --> 00:27:33,519
Speaker 1: Both doctor Dominic, renzuli and Libby look at this indomitable

489
00:27:33,559 --> 00:27:36,759
and tough old woman with some consternation in their eyes.

490
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:40,839
She is just formidable enough to carry out her threat.

491
00:27:41,599 --> 00:27:45,319
Will she have the opportunity and will she actually go

492
00:27:45,519 --> 00:27:49,119
through with it? I'll answer those questions when I return

493
00:27:49,240 --> 00:28:00,440
shortly with a three. There's an old piece of dogg

494
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:03,799
girrel which runs the rain. It raineth on the just

495
00:28:04,119 --> 00:28:07,799
and also on the unjust, fella, but chiefly on the just,

496
00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:12,599
because the unjust steals the just's umbrella. A truism that

497
00:28:12,680 --> 00:28:16,559
is altogether too apt as in our story here, but

498
00:28:16,759 --> 00:28:19,799
unfair as the ways of the world may be, no

499
00:28:19,920 --> 00:28:22,759
one of us can set himself up as God and

500
00:28:22,880 --> 00:28:26,160
decide on the right of another to live or die.

501
00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,480
After closing the door on Doctor Renzulie, a weary and

502
00:28:30,599 --> 00:28:34,480
unhappy Libby crosses the hall towards the stairs, but is

503
00:28:34,559 --> 00:28:38,519
stopped by the imperative voice of her grandmother, Olivia.

504
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:44,519
Speaker 4: Yes, grandmother, where are you going upstairs to lie down?

505
00:28:44,599 --> 00:28:46,359
I I don't feel very well.

506
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:50,680
Speaker 3: I I want to talk to you for just a moment.

507
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:52,559
Pleaded here.

508
00:28:54,079 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 4: Ugh, all right, but not too long.

509
00:28:58,519 --> 00:29:01,119
Speaker 3: This is enough talk. I know.

510
00:29:02,599 --> 00:29:06,480
Speaker 4: I'm sorry I dragged up the awful past. It made

511
00:29:06,559 --> 00:29:10,480
me sick to my stomach too, But I thought, I

512
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:13,000
I hope you know you could never convince any doctor

513
00:29:13,079 --> 00:29:16,160
to allow a man to die when it's any possibility

514
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:19,519
of saying oh, I know it consciously, but deep in

515
00:29:19,559 --> 00:29:24,799
my subconscious is buried such a hate, a terrible, consuming,

516
00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:29,359
driving hate against that man. I won't say his name

517
00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:34,359
that I am willing him to die. And if God

518
00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:40,119
doesn't answer my player, then well that's my business, no

519
00:29:40,160 --> 00:29:48,119
one else's. Libby dear, Yes, time, what is it I need?

520
00:29:49,359 --> 00:29:53,680
I I want some.

521
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:53,359
Speaker 3: Some reassurance from you.

522
00:29:54,559 --> 00:30:00,480
Speaker 4: N What can I offer about your mother? I? Oh,

523
00:30:00,559 --> 00:30:04,599
they be Was it all my fault? Did I overprotect

524
00:30:04,680 --> 00:30:08,079
her shield her too much from life? Some mothers a

525
00:30:08,240 --> 00:30:12,200
driver to run away from all my love to someone else. No,

526
00:30:12,359 --> 00:30:17,920
you mustn't blame yourself, mother, made her own choices. But

527
00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:22,720
it is hard for grandmother to be oh had in,

528
00:30:24,039 --> 00:30:27,519
not to have freedom to move where you want, decide

529
00:30:27,559 --> 00:30:30,279
what you want. Then I suppose you planned to fly

530
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:35,640
the nest too a name. Guys, are need to start

531
00:30:35,799 --> 00:30:40,279
finding out for myself what I'm all about.

532
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:43,319
Speaker 3: So you do blame me for your mother?

533
00:30:43,799 --> 00:30:44,759
Speaker 4: That isn't true.

534
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:48,160
Speaker 3: Oh yes, even for her death.

535
00:30:48,039 --> 00:30:53,039
Speaker 4: That certainly isn't true. And I could well sort of

536
00:30:53,079 --> 00:30:56,880
prove that how because of what happened last night?

537
00:30:57,200 --> 00:30:58,599
Speaker 3: Oh did you have a bad dream?

538
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:00,319
Speaker 4: I thought I heard you call Lord?

539
00:31:00,359 --> 00:31:02,559
Speaker 3: What happened? Right? I?

540
00:31:02,559 --> 00:31:06,759
Speaker 4: I woke up suddenly and and he felt this cool,

541
00:31:07,119 --> 00:31:10,640
cold chill. And you know how warm last night wasn't I? I

542
00:31:10,599 --> 00:31:20,839
had my window wide open, and then what a sudden? What?

543
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:25,960
Oh damn that Lushut, it's.

544
00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:26,839
Speaker 1: All right to be.

545
00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:29,720
Speaker 3: Don't bother about the window.

546
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 4: Mother. His jee came back.

547
00:31:34,079 --> 00:31:38,079
Speaker 5: Only for a moment, my dolling, just to say good bye?

548
00:31:39,079 --> 00:31:43,200
Speaker 4: What's that at the video at the w.

549
00:31:45,200 --> 00:31:49,160
Speaker 5: But I wanna ask you, now that I finally see

550
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:52,839
him for what he really is, save a little mourning

551
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:54,839
for him.

552
00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:56,559
Speaker 3: He gotta help himself.

553
00:31:56,160 --> 00:32:02,559
Speaker 4: Any more than I can. What I can, I can

554
00:32:02,599 --> 00:32:05,599
see you like, do you well? The the wall, the pictures,

555
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:09,640
even the pattern of the paper. That's because I've already

556
00:32:09,640 --> 00:32:10,039
did this.

557
00:32:11,880 --> 00:32:15,960
Speaker 3: I love you. I neither of us deserve to live.

558
00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:17,680
You see.

559
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:21,839
Speaker 5: I had to grab at the wheel and kill us.

560
00:32:21,839 --> 00:32:28,319
So because when you were poisoning your life.

561
00:32:32,640 --> 00:32:38,119
Speaker 4: And then suddenly the chill was gone, and the wind disappeared,

562
00:32:39,079 --> 00:32:43,079
and the shutters stopped clattering, and it was warm again.

563
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:48,440
But I know it wasn't a dream. Oh it because

564
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:51,680
because I looked at the clock and it was exactly

565
00:32:51,759 --> 00:32:55,240
ten minutes after two. When did the police sergeant tell

566
00:32:55,279 --> 00:32:57,119
us he heard the crash?

567
00:32:57,319 --> 00:33:00,480
Speaker 3: That's right, ten minutes after the two.

568
00:33:02,279 --> 00:33:05,240
Speaker 4: So Laura came to her senses at glass and tried

569
00:33:05,279 --> 00:33:09,599
to kill him. She she asks me to mourn a

570
00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:12,359
little for him, only as usually he gets away with it.

571
00:33:13,359 --> 00:33:16,920
He doesn't have to be mourned because he escaped.

572
00:33:16,640 --> 00:33:18,119
Speaker 3: While Laura had to die.

573
00:33:18,519 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 4: Pretty pretty please don't oh, oh right up when I

574
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:29,000
when it's over. Oh, I'm very tired of myself, and

575
00:33:29,319 --> 00:33:30,279
stick to my heart.

576
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:30,720
Speaker 3: Pray.

577
00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:37,680
Speaker 4: Let's both go light down. I I'll help you upstairs.

578
00:33:37,720 --> 00:33:40,640
Oh maybe I've lived enough years.

579
00:33:41,759 --> 00:33:43,160
Speaker 3: It's time to rest.

580
00:33:43,359 --> 00:33:45,880
Speaker 4: Should I get a doctor. No, no, liddy, I have

581
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:57,240
no need of doctors. Well, just peace of mind. The

582
00:33:57,359 --> 00:34:00,000
documentally doctor. Oh boy, it's true.

583
00:34:00,279 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 1: What what is it? Ookay?

584
00:34:01,319 --> 00:34:02,039
Speaker 3: I've got to talk.

585
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:04,640
Speaker 4: Uh quickly, quickly s somewhere, w plea.

586
00:34:05,119 --> 00:34:07,359
Speaker 1: Come on, I'll take you to the doctor Hobb's office.

587
00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:08,119
Speaker 2: What's wrong?

588
00:34:08,239 --> 00:34:11,360
Speaker 4: It's my grandmother. Have you seen her here? I mean no?

589
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 2: Why?

590
00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:15,119
Speaker 4: Well, shortly after you left this morning, we both went

591
00:34:15,159 --> 00:34:18,840
to lie down. I couldn't sleep. I kept worrying because

592
00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:23,239
I I remembered about the gun. What gun? Well, the

593
00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:24,920
one we kept in the chest of drawers in the

594
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:30,760
upstairs hall. Grandmother always kept one there loaded. Well, you know,

595
00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:33,599
three women alone in a house with nothing but women

596
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:40,199
servants should have protection. She said, Well the gun is gone.

597
00:34:41,039 --> 00:34:44,280
Speaker 1: Oh and you think your grandmother took it?

598
00:34:44,960 --> 00:34:47,119
Speaker 4: You heard what she said about taking things into her

599
00:34:47,159 --> 00:34:47,679
own hand.

600
00:34:48,039 --> 00:34:48,920
Speaker 2: Uh.

601
00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:52,480
Speaker 1: Look, Uh, this is doctor Hobb's office. I'll put you

602
00:34:52,519 --> 00:34:53,119
in here, will I?

603
00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:53,760
Speaker 4: Libby?

604
00:34:54,440 --> 00:34:55,400
Speaker 3: What are you doing here?

605
00:34:55,559 --> 00:34:59,400
Speaker 4: Looking for you? Why? Why are you here? I came

606
00:34:59,480 --> 00:35:02,159
to see doctor Hubbs. His nurse told me that I'm

607
00:35:02,199 --> 00:35:06,960
too late. The operation has already begun. So I'm waiting.

608
00:35:07,239 --> 00:35:12,559
Why I have a vested interest in the result. Obviously

609
00:35:12,639 --> 00:35:14,079
my future depends on it.

610
00:35:14,079 --> 00:35:17,920
Speaker 1: It may be rather a long wait, missus Stanton. May

611
00:35:17,960 --> 00:35:20,800
I take your bag and put it somewhere now I

612
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:23,920
prefer to keep it myself. I just thought you looked uncomfortable.

613
00:35:24,039 --> 00:35:27,519
Speaker 4: I am quite comfortable, thank you, doctor. I am accustomed to.

614
00:35:27,440 --> 00:35:28,119
Speaker 3: Carrying a bag.

615
00:35:28,360 --> 00:35:32,039
Speaker 4: I just look kind of uh heavy, it is, Rannie,

616
00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:33,360
Let me have the bag.

617
00:35:33,599 --> 00:35:35,480
Speaker 3: What is all this fuss about my bag?

618
00:35:35,599 --> 00:35:35,960
Speaker 4: What for?

619
00:35:36,800 --> 00:35:38,719
Speaker 3: I want the gun you have in it?

620
00:35:39,679 --> 00:35:40,320
Speaker 2: What gun?

621
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:43,800
Speaker 4: The one from the chest and the upstairs hall, the

622
00:35:43,800 --> 00:35:47,239
one that is missing. Oh so you noticed that too?

623
00:35:47,360 --> 00:35:48,079
Speaker 3: Eh?

624
00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:49,280
Speaker 4: What do you mean too?

625
00:35:50,000 --> 00:35:51,119
Speaker 3: I did go for the gun.

626
00:35:51,480 --> 00:35:54,079
Speaker 4: I had intended to use it, but it wasn't there

627
00:35:54,559 --> 00:36:00,280
wasn't there. Try. Oh, don't look so disbelieving and scared. Yeah,

628
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:02,840
I take the bag and see for yourself. I'm quite

629
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:07,280
unarmed and reasonably sakes So then who took it? I

630
00:36:07,360 --> 00:36:10,960
did a lot of thinking about that, and suddenly, remembering

631
00:36:11,159 --> 00:36:16,519
back to your well, let's say, your dream, I suddenly

632
00:36:16,559 --> 00:36:21,199
am quite sure it was Dana. Why because I don't

633
00:36:21,199 --> 00:36:26,760
think your mother went with him willingly. I think that's why. Well,

634
00:36:26,800 --> 00:36:29,239
we won't go into that in front of doctor Vensuli.

635
00:36:30,280 --> 00:36:32,519
I think when we checked with the sergeant, the gun

636
00:36:32,559 --> 00:36:34,320
will be found in the remains.

637
00:36:33,880 --> 00:36:35,360
Speaker 2: Of the car.

638
00:36:36,079 --> 00:36:36,440
Speaker 3: Funny.

639
00:36:37,199 --> 00:36:41,039
Speaker 4: I'm a foolish, rigid woman who's made a lifetime of mistakes.

640
00:36:42,360 --> 00:36:45,320
But suddenly they I realized how blind I've been, and

641
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:48,679
my eyes were opened by my granddaughter.

642
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:53,360
Speaker 3: Nay, yes, oh poor Laura.

643
00:36:53,400 --> 00:36:57,000
Speaker 4: I sheltered her, over protected her, kept her from any

644
00:36:57,039 --> 00:37:00,960
freedom of choice, just as you said. But I won't

645
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:05,559
make the same mistake again. Oh, Granny, do you have

646
00:37:05,679 --> 00:37:09,480
your own money, Libby, Your future is your own. I

647
00:37:09,599 --> 00:37:12,239
won't interfere anymore. I'll get out of your life.

648
00:37:12,960 --> 00:37:14,559
Speaker 3: You'll be better off without.

649
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:22,320
Speaker 4: Me, Granny, Yes, cause this hope me. Oh, I'm not

650
00:37:22,400 --> 00:37:29,599
letting you go. You see, I've paid my choice to

651
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:30,599
stay with you.

652
00:37:30,599 --> 00:37:31,800
Speaker 2: Oh, but live you.

653
00:37:31,880 --> 00:37:35,920
Speaker 4: I see everything so clearly now, Huh. I never had

654
00:37:35,920 --> 00:37:40,840
a mother or a father, but I had you, and

655
00:37:40,960 --> 00:37:42,199
I always have you.

656
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:43,760
Speaker 2: Oh.

657
00:37:43,800 --> 00:37:48,000
Speaker 4: Sure, some day they'll be a man for me. It's

658
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:51,679
a man you'll help me pick and they'll be children.

659
00:37:52,559 --> 00:37:55,480
And you're young enough to be here for once more

660
00:37:55,519 --> 00:37:58,800
around the clock, and this time it'll be all happiness, you,

661
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:05,480
me and mother. Ever, that's for my father. Let him

662
00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:14,559

00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:23,480
I did can hang out. But would you please excuse

665
00:38:23,519 --> 00:38:24,360
this document to me?

666
00:38:24,840 --> 00:38:28,320
Speaker 1: Of course? And uh, the best.

667

668
00:38:37,760 --> 00:38:41,840
Speaker 1: So that's the whole story, Mitch, And that's the ever

669
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:45,280
loving character you plucked from the jaws of death. I

670
00:38:45,639 --> 00:38:49,199
had no choice, domb, but as lucky you didn't decide

671
00:38:49,199 --> 00:38:51,280
to take the law into her own hands. What do

672
00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:53,599
you mean, Oh, the operation was a success as.

673
00:38:53,559 --> 00:38:54,239
Speaker 2: Far as it went.

674
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:58,039
Speaker 1: I fixed up everything in the car crash caused at

675
00:38:58,079 --> 00:39:00,320
what forty eight years of rough living have done the

676
00:39:00,440 --> 00:39:04,320
Dana trentp no surgeon could fix. He has advanced the

677
00:39:04,400 --> 00:39:07,039
roses of a liver and an extra quirk that nature

678
00:39:07,159 --> 00:39:12,199
or maybe providence built in an enterrapadic billiary obstruction.

679
00:39:12,639 --> 00:39:14,239
Speaker 2: Nonoperable, non operable.

680
00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:18,239
Speaker 1: It's a safe bet he'll never leave this hospital alive.

681
00:39:24,400 --> 00:39:28,559
The irony of fate, the justice of God, or just

682
00:39:28,679 --> 00:39:32,480
the mathematical certainty that if you roll the dice long enough,

683
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:37,039
you've got to turn up snake eyes. If ever a

684
00:39:37,079 --> 00:39:41,920
man deserved death, it was Vana Trent it's a pleasing

685
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:44,760
thought to know that in the end he made it

686
00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:50,119
for himself. From the apocrypha in the Bible and most

687
00:39:50,199 --> 00:39:53,280
probably the source of the piece of dogglele I quoted earlier,

688
00:39:53,960 --> 00:39:56,679
he maketh his son to rise on the evil and

689
00:39:56,760 --> 00:40:00,760
the good, and sendeth rein on the just and on

690
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:04,800
the This time the rain fell where I think we

691
00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:08,280
all would have wanted it to, and at least for once,

692
00:40:09,039 --> 00:40:14,880
evil found its own reward. Our cast included Mary Jane Higbee,
